A quick and healthy cauliflower fried rice packed with fresh vegetables, garlic, and soy sauce, perfect for a flavorful low-carb meal ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • ½ cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • ½ cup bell peppers, diced (red or yellow)
  • 3 green onions, sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove leaves and core from cauliflower. Chop into florets and pulse in a food processor until pieces resemble rice grains, about 5-7 pulses (1-2 minutes). Avoid over-processing. Set aside.
  2. Dice carrot and bell pepper, mince garlic, and slice green onions thinly.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in beaten egg and scramble quickly until just set, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the pan and increase heat to medium-high. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Add carrots, bell peppers, and peas. Stir often and cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Stir in the riced cauliflower. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes until cauliflower loses moisture and is slightly golden in spots.
  7. Drizzle soy sauce and toasted sesame oil over the mixture. Stir well to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return scrambled egg to the pan and mix gently.
  8. Turn off heat and stir in sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a sharp food processor blade to get even-sized cauliflower rice grains. Avoid over-processing to prevent mushiness. Cook on medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the cauliflower fries rather than steams. Frozen peas should be thawed and drained well. For vegan option, omit egg or replace with scrambled tofu. Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
