Cauliflower Fried Rice

Do you have a Chinese food addiction like I do? I could seriously eat it everyday. Thanks to this recipe, now you can!

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.

    Made this last night and it is just outstanding. What an amazingly easy recepie and so yummy! I skipped the eggs, used teriyaki sauce because I was out of soy sauce and added celery. This is my new favorite recepie! Thank you so much for posting it!

    1. I’m so glad you loved it Wendy!

    I tried this today and it was delicious! I won’t use the cheese grater on the cauliflower again as it was pretty messy and tedious, but I’m excited to try it with the food processor. Fried rice has nothing on this recipe! So glad I found your blog. 🙂

    If using a whole fresh cauliflower, I would recommend slicing the core into matchsticks, and thin slice the green leaves to use like bok choy. Very good and frugal.

    Amazing recipe!!! This was my first time making cauliflower “rice” and I am so very pleased, The flavour was great, everything was great, I even convinced my Mother in-law it was real rice and she believed me, when I finall told her what it was she was shocked, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this recipe:)

  5. You have no idea how excited I was to come upon this recipe on Pinterest! I am a Type I diabetic and rice is a HUGE no no for me! I adore cauliflower – the fiber content alone is so healthy! I am going to make this, this weekend for sure! I’m going to put this into my recipe software and calibrate the nutrition values. I’m sure I’ll be quite grateful! THANK YOU, Corey!!

    1. You are very welcome! I hope you love it 🙂
