Make this simple cauliflower fried rice recipe to get a satisfying, low-carb meal on the table fast. You will learn the technique to prepare cauliflower rice that mimics the texture of traditional fried rice perfectly for a healthy takeout swap.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for depth)
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the riced cauliflower and frozen vegetables to the skillet. Stir fry for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up the cauliflower clumps, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and most moisture has evaporated. This step is key for texture.
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side and scramble them quickly until just set.
  5. Stir the eggs into the cauliflower mixture.
  6. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together well until heated through and well combined, about 1 minute.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use fresh riced cauliflower or ensure frozen cauliflower rice is completely dry before adding it to the hot pan.
  • If you want a high-protein meal, add 1 cup of cooked, diced chicken breast or shrimp during step 4.
  • This recipe works well for cauliflower rice meal prep; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
