Update Feb 2020: I’ve now made this cauliflower rice recipe again and again and last time took some new pictures, so some are updated. The recipe was originally published in August 29th 2019.

But first, let’s say a prayer for the cauliflower head that was sacrificed to make this tasty meal.

You will be missed. After all, you stayed in my fridge for a week before I knew what to do with you. We bonded. Then I saw you were expiring and I freaked out. Out of desperation, I decided to grate you, hoping you’ll resemble rice. That’s not to say you weren’t good enough on your own. You were, don’t ever let someone tell you you weren’t.

Now, it’s no secret I’ve not been the biggest cauliflower rice fan. But I made it 2 years ago for the first time and it wasn’t so bad.

This time…well, I added 3 cloves of garlic and it’s super good.

Is it better than takeout? Probably not.

But it’s still really, really good. And if you haven’t eaten rice or quinoa, like yesterday, you’d think it’s the best fried rice you’ve ever eaten.


How To Make Cauliflower Rice

The first thing you do is go to the store and check whether they already have cauliflower rice.

If they don’t – you sell half a liver on Ebay and then invest that money into an organic cauliflower head.

Then you have two options, depending on how much time and what equipment you have:

  • no time + food processor
  • time + a cheap grater

Well I wasn’t making this at home, so the food processor was nonexistent. I opted for the second option and well…

How to make cauliflower rice without a food processor, you'll only need a grater to make your own cauliflower rice at home and use it in low carb recipes like this cauliflower fried rice recipe!

Grate as much as you can. You’ll know you’re ready when:

  • you’re sweating profusely
  • your hands are bleeding, because you grated a little bit off your finger
  • your cauliflower starts competing with rice

Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe

  • Make your cauliflower rice using a food processor or a grater

  • Add the minced garlic
  • Stir in the cauliflower rice and add soy or tamari sauce, cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the carrot and scallion and stir for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Add salt to taste and enjoy immediately.

Options

  • Make It Paleo: I used tamari sauce to make this cauliflower fried rice, but if you want to make this dish paleo – use coconut aminos, I’ve heard great things.
  • Additions: I kept this recipe pretty simple and vegetarian, but you can also add in chicken breast or shrimp. Make sure to add and cook them before you add the cauliflower rice.
  • Other vegetables: You can also add in other vegetables here as well. I usually like to use peas and broccoli in my fried rice recipes, but I felt with this much cauliflower this was enough.

A super delicious easy cauliflower fried rice recipe from scratch - done in less than 30 minutes, even if you only have a grater and no food processor or cauliflower rice! This cauliflower rice recipe is a very tasty healthy dinner idea that is also a low-carb, vegetarian, gluten-free dairy-free recipe. To make it paleo - use coconut aminos!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small head cauliflower or 2-3 cups cauliflower rice
  • 2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or other oil
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 scallions, thinly chopped
  • sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grate the cauliflower or put it in your food processor to make your rice.
  2. Chop the onion and carrot, mince garlic.
  3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and lightly scramble the two eggs.
  4. Once they're almost done, add the garlic and saute until fragrant.
  5. Mix in your cauliflower rice, combine well. Let cook for about 2 minutes.
  6. Add the other tbsp of olive oil and the tamari or soy sauce.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring well, so that all the cauliflower gets covered with the tamari sauce. I actually needed to add some salt to taste, but I was using low-sodium tamari sauce, so do taste your cauliflower at the end of the 3 minutes.
  8. Lastly, stir in the carrots and the scallions and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add a tsp of toasted sesame oil (optional).
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

As you might notice in the pictures - I also added some peas the second time I photographed this recipe. These additions are of course completely optional and the cauliflower rice will be delicious even without them.

*If you're following a strict keto diet you could reduce the carbohydrate content of this dish by leaving out the carrot.
