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.

Cauliflower Fried Rice

3 cups of grated raw cauliflower (use a cheese grater or food processor)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 TBSP olive oil
2 eggs (or 4 egg whites) scrambled
3 TBSP soy sauce

In a large pan, saute garlic and onions in olive oil on a medium/high heat, until onions become soft and transparent. (about 2-3 minutes)
Next add in peas, and carrots and cook until carrots begin to soften and peas are heated through, about 3-4 minutes
Next stir in scrambled eggs , cauliflower and soy sauce. Cook stirring frequently for about 5-7 more minutes.
Enjoy adding in your favorite protein and veg. Possible add-ins: baby corn, broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, water chestnuts, chicken, tofu, and shrimp!

Hi Corey,
I appreciate that the calorific count will differ with whatever is added to this recipe, but do you know, roughly, the calorie count in your basic, original recipe please? I have embarked on the 5:2 way of eating and would like to know if your recipe would be suitable for my fasting days. Many thanks. M.

Margaret, I don’t have the exact calorie count, but if you enter all your ingredients into a recipe builder, you should be able to figure that out. I use the MyFitnessPal one 🙂 Hope that helps!

Made this and the whole family loved it!

Thanks Kim! Yes, please share 🙂

Thanks for the recipe. We are on GAPS diet and also dairy free. I added about 1/2 an inch of minced fresh ginger (I would have liked more, but know that was pushing it with being “too spicy” for my 7 year old). Also substituted coconut oil for the olive oil and Coconut Aminos for the soy sauce. To make up for the milder flavor of the Coconut Aminos, added 1 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil once the cooking was done, 1 Tablespoon raw honey, plus some salt and pepper. My daughter ate a huge bowl of this, asked for more, then asked when will I make it again, and also requested extra egg 🙂 My husband, who is not on a special diet with my daughter and me, but is not a big starch eater loved this as well, since he doesn’t typically eat much rice. We did the carrots, peas, onion, and then added in leftover chicken from making broth, and diced zucchini. I would definitely make it again.
