Low Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice

Sharing is caring!

One of our favorite quick, one skillet recipes is Cauliflower Fried Rice. This one is low carb, not Keto, and is made with chicken. I’ve found this better than the fried rice at my favorite Asian restaurant!

Cauliflower Fried Rice Sample

We start with the typical ingredients you find in fried rice – carrots, onions, sesame oil, amino acids (or soy sauce) garlic, and eggs. We added peas which may not be the most low carb friendly. Use with caution based on your diet preferences.

The cauliflower replaces the rice! Once you’ve got them sauteed and cooked in the pan, it’s time to add the thing that makes it real fried rice – the eggs!

Some of the fried rice may mix with the eggs. Once the eggs are cooked through, stir together with the rice, and YUM!

  2. To the skillet, add the carrots and green onions. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the cauliflower and continue cooking, stirring as needed to avoid burning, for 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken, peas, sesame oil, and liquid aminos to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow to cook until any liquid is absorbed or evaporated.
