But really…..how could cauliflower taste just like my beloved fried rice? 

I am happy to report that this Cauliflower Fried Rice taste absolutely like fried rice!!! Both my girls are a big fan of fried rice. They didn’t blink an eye when I put a bowl of this cauliflower fried rice in front of them.  Little D ate her whole bowl and asked for more! Have fun mixing in your favorite vegetables and proteins. My favorite so far has been to add in some eggs and egg whites and a ton of veg.

  1. I love fried rice too! Will have to give this a try.

    1. You are going to love it Cristi!

    1. Awesome Rachel! It is so easy and yummy! Let me know how you like it 🙂

    1. YAY! I hope you love it Kim 🙂

    1. I know! I am always craving it 🙂 Hope you love the recipe!

  2. This looks delicious and a healthier version than the rice variety. I’m vegan but I think this dish would taste just as good without the egg. Thanks for sharing!

    1. YES! That is the beauty of this recipe. You can replace proteins for ones you like and take away or add other veggies 🙂

  3. I’ve got an egg allergy – is there a way to substitute the eggs in this? It looks delicious and I’d love to try it!

    1. Totally Erika! You can leave out the egg. Add in other veggies, try tofu or chicken for the protein element 🙂 That is the beauty of this recipe. Have fun playing around with different veggies and proteins that work for you 🙂 XO

  4. Finally a cauliflower recipe. I’ve never been successful feeding kids with cauliflower. This one’s a must try. Thanks for the share!

  5. This looks so good, I’m going to the store to get the stuff right now. Great idea!

  6. We’ve done the rice cauliflower, and like it best with spices, maybe with small bits of veggies in it. We haven’t tried this fried variety. Mmmm-looks good!

    For quick and easy prep, I use a pound bag of cauliflower florets, and cook them in my microwave. After they’ve cooled a bit, I’ll chop them in my Pampered Chef hand chopper on a cutting board. It is much faster than cooking from fresh, and much less mess. The chopper does a great job of “ricing” the cauliflower. Thanks for this idea!

    1. Kim, what spices do you add?
