Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers), fresh or frozen
  • 1 pound riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 ounces protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, tofu, or beef), cooked and diced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the avocado or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and any moisture has evaporated. If using frozen rice, cook until dry.
  5. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side. Scramble the eggs quickly until just set, then mix them into the cauliflower.
  6. Add your pre-cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, etc.) to the skillet. Stir to combine everything.
  7. Pour the coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger, and white pepper over the mixture. Toss everything together quickly for 1 minute to coat evenly and heat through.
  8. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a gluten free fried rice option, confirm your coconut aminos or soy sauce is certified gluten free.
  • If you want a richer flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of fish sauce with the soy sauce.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled rice in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
  • Use frozen riced cauliflower for the fastest preparation time.
