I’m all about easy meals right now–the kind of meals that practically cook themselves. I guess my need for easy cooking is because I’m in a transition phase right now. My world as I know it has fundamentally changed.
Harper, my daughter, companion, and co-founder of this blog, just landed in Haiti to begin her 6 month mission trip. My heart is filled with pride and breaking all at the same time.
Harper and I did everything together. We saved rescue ponies, raised baby chicks, and learn to milk a cow together. We cooked together and started this blog together. To say I will miss her is a huge understatement.
Still, I am proud that she is forging her own way. It is time for her to move on. I am grateful that she is giving back. She will learn and grow from this experience.
The thing that will be most difficult for me is that she won’t have cell service or wi-fi most of the time. I won’t be able to call or text her with my next big idea. As difficult as this is, I can’t imagine what parents who have children going into a war zone must feel.
Today, in between calling and texting Harper during her airport layovers, I made this dish one more time to get photos. What a great distraction! Besides, fried rice makes great comfort food!
This recipe is based on a fried rice recipe taught to me by a friend in college. My friend didn’t use a recipe, just eyeballed everything. I find cauliflower fried rice even easier to make than regular fried rice. There’s no reason to make the rice separately. I just cook it in the pan with the other veggies.
I’ve made this rice with both fresh riced cauliflower and frozen riced cauliflower. Either works well. There is no reason to defrost the frozen cauliflower before using. You can also learn how make cauliflower rice.
Pre-riced cauliflower is getting easier and easier to find. I guess all of us low-carb people are putting more pressure on supermarkets to carry products that work for us! Great job everyone! I even found it at my local rural grocery store, both in the produce department and in the frozen department. If you can’t find pre-riced cauliflower, you can rice it yourself with a grater or a food processor.
This Easy Low-Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe pairs well with Chinese food as well as simple entrees like this Easy Low-Carb Citrus-Ginger Grilled Chicken Kabobsor ourGrilled Chili Lime Shrimp Kabobs. I find this fried rice makes a tasty, simple lunch by itself or with this Keto Egg Drop Soup. With a bit of leftover chicken or shrimp tossed in, it can even serve as a main course. Enjoy!

Author Annissa Slusher
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, ghee, coconut oil, or olive oil
- 12 ounces riced cauliflower fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup carrot finely diced (optional)
- 1 ounce green onion (about 2 large or 4 small) sliced, with white and green parts separated
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or Tamari (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
In a large heavy skillet or wok, melt butter or oil of choice over medium-high heat.
Add carrots and riced cauliflower. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften--about 5 minutes.
Stir in the white part of the green onions. Cook until vegetables are almost tender--about 2-3 minutes more. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the egg and stir it together with the vegetables. Cook, stirring the mixture frequently, until the egg is scrambled. This takes about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, green part of green onions, and the sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.

This is one of my favorite cauliflower recipes EVER!!! I have to say that I was so skeptical about this recipe for 2 reasons!! 1, it was made with cauliflower, and 2, it was so quick and easy!! Boy was I surprised!! i have tried many other recipes using cauliflower and I was always a little disappointed because it just wasn’t nearly as good as the real thing!! This was!! I will make this all the time!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!

Cauliflower probably has the most carbs in this dish. The carrots have some as well, but I kept the amount low, so they would add color and flavor, but not blow everyones carb limit for the day.

OH MY GOODNESS…. I just started a Keto diet last Thurs and made this for dinner last night (Sunday) now I didn’t have any green onion so I grated maybe two inches I had left over of a zucchini in its place along with the carrot (also grated) and I didn’t have any of the toasted sesame oil, but holy cow THIS IS DELISH!!!! I saved a portion and took it to work today for my fellow co-workers and 5 out of 5 said how wonderful it was.. No, I will say I used the same skillet that I’d fried bacon and then some chicken in earlier, but I don’t taste that and I still used the butter on the ingredient list.. SO SO GOOD – Will def make again and again!!! Now to explore what else you have on here since I found you from pinterest!

The flavor was very very good. However my cauliflower rice turned out mushy. I followed the cooking times in the recipe. Any ideas about what went wrong? I would definitely make again if I could fix that part.
Reply
Harper and Annissa Slusher on June 17, 2018 at 4:04 pm
Kate,
If you made your own cauliflower rice in a food processor, it might be helpful to squeeze any water out of it into paper towels before using it. Also, be sure the pan is heated before adding the riced cauliflower. I almost always make this with frozen riced cauliflower and don’t bother to defrost it before adding it to the pan. I love the convenience of the frozen riced cauliflower and I actually think the taste is milder than when I use raw riced cauliflower. I have used raw riced cauliflower in the recipe successfully, but mine was pre-riced and I did not do it myself. I hope this helps!
-AnnissaReply
Kate on June 17, 2018 at 5:06 pm
Thanks I’ll try the frozen. I had bought the pre shredded cauliflower. Maybe I’ll reduce the cooking time a little. Idk. The flavor was very good

Delicious!! I wish I didn’t have to share it with my daughters because I want more! I couldn’t find riced cauliflower, but got chopped. It’s probav almost same thing. I should have used entire 16 oz bag, but like to follow recipe closely first time. Next time I’ll use it all, add even more carrots and onions and another egg. I threw in some leftover chicken thighs cut up and it made an awesome lunch.
This recipe has moved to my ‘favorite recipes’ board on Pinterest. Thanks for an easy Keto meal! Love it. My mouth is so happy right now! Lol!

Mary Anne on August 28, 2018 at 11:52 am
Hi. I am looking forward to trying this recipe, but am wondering how it doesn’t come out mushy for you with frozen cauliflower? Has the pre-riced and frozen cauliflower been “de-watered” in the manufacturing process? Thanks for any answers you can provide.
Reply
Harper and Annissa Slusher on August 28, 2018 at 4:11 pm
That’s a good question! I fid that fresh pre-riced cauliflower is not as watery as homemade riced cauliflower. I find that using a large skillet and preheating the pan well before adding frozen riced cauliflower seems to help the water dissipate. Overall, I actually find that frozen riced cauliflower is my favorite to use with this recipe. The flavor is milder for some reason and it passes more easily for “rice”.
Hope this helps!

Sometimes when fresh cauliflower is chopped in a food processor, it can release some juice. To squeeze it out, you can put the riced cauliflower on a clean dish towel, gather up the edges, then squeeze out the extra juice. You do not need to precook it for this recipe.

You were totally right about the liquid. I like it better using the frozen for the texture, but the flavor was still really good.

I’m not a huge cauliflower fan at all and most recipes I have tried I hated but I decided to give this one a try and it did not disappoint. I added onion and used a garlic infused canola oil and fresh cauliflower. I also usually add a protein like chicken or teriyaki steak. AMAZING!!!

I think the size of chicken breasts has changed dramatically since Julia Child’s day, which could account for some of her shorter cook time.

This was absolutely delish……. I made exactly as written and served with Kung Pao Baked Turkey Meatballs………….. All was restaurant quality. I did use frozen rice as it is so much easier. Great recipe, thank you!

Yes, I like it with frozen riced cauliflower as well. Easier and I think it even tastes better.

Wonderful recipe, I added bacon, peas and a bit of vinegar to cut the sweetness.

Is there an egg substitute I can use? Or leave it out, I’m allergic.

You can just leave it out. 🙂

Wow – this sounds wonderful! I’ve been wanting to try making spaghetti squash at home for a while, and this sounds like the perfect way to try it. Thanks for the cutting tip as well!Reply

Just coming to the cauliflower rice craze and I’m loving it. This was easy for a non cook like me to make and it was delicious. I will be making this a lot.

I have put off actually trying fried rice cauliflower. Even though I had 2 large bags in my freezer I just couldn’t convince myself to try it. Tonight my husband finally took the plunge and made your recipe. We followed the recipe except for omitting the carrots. He made Wholesomeyum.com Korean beef to top the rice.
Oh goodness it was so good. I have not had Asian food carry out since starting low carb 4 months ago. I was in heaven. I ate my serving with the beef and then ate a half of another serving of just this rice recipe. THANK YOU for giving me back Asian food.

Wow! This was AMAZING! All I did was add a handful or so of peas and a dash of Sriracha sauce! It took all my willpower to not eat the whole thing! I couldn’t tell it was cauliflower at all! Just….WOW!! Thank you for this!

I’m doing keto with my daughter and wanted a side dish to go along with some grilled chicken. This recipe tastes so much like actual fried rice – it was delicious. I did add a few chopped cashews which made it even better. It’s one of those recipes you can add chicken or shrimp to for a great lunch!

This was an amazing recipe and idea! I first made my butter and mixed the garlic in kind of what they serve you at Benihana. I added celery and broccoli. I had left over Costco chicken so I sautéed that with low sodium chicken broth then added the chicken at the end. Somewhere I saw something about storing left overs I’m happy to tell you there were none. Husband told me it’s a keeper not to lose the recipe!

Thank you for this post. I’ve always believed that chicken had to be cooked to 180 using an instant read thermometer to be safe. Always dry. I do more grilling outdoors, but I’ll definitely have to look for one of those pans. Should be good for any type of meat.

Tried this last night for me and my mom. Have not had Asian food since starting the keto/low carb lifestyle 6 months ago. So yummy and so easy!
Was trying Kevin’s Natural General Tso’s Sauce since it was low carb and low sodium, a must in my household. Paired perfectly! Now it’ll have to make the rotation.

This is really really good! I’m such a picky eater and I didn’t have high hopes for it. Boy was I wrong! This isn’t a fried rice substitute, it’s a replacement! I think the cauliflower absorbs a bit better than rice making this is ultra flavorful. Impressive!
