Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice is a low carb option for my favorite Asian stir fry recipe.

It is very easy to make cauliflower fried rice.

You can make plain cauliflower fried rice or you can make cauliflower fried rice with chicken like I have done today.

Cauliflower Rice Recipe

To make cauliflower fried rice you will need some cauliflower rice. I made the cauliflower rice I used in this Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe with a head of fresh cauliflower.

Homemade cauliflower rice is very uncomplicated to make.

It is also much cheaper to buy a head of fresh cauliflower and process it into cauliflower rice than it is to buy a package of frozen cauliflower rice at the grocery store.

Cauliflower Rice

Frozen cauliflower rice has much more moisture than cauliflower rice made with a fresh head of cauliflower.

If for the sake of convenience you use frozen cauliflower rice to make this recipe you will need to thaw the cauliflower rice and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before cooking with it.

How To Make Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice and alternatives for ingredients

Most of the work when making Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice is prepping the vegetables. You'll need to make the cauliflower rice which only takes a couple of minutes when you use a food processor.

Dicing a fresh carrot is done quickly.

You can also buy a bag of frozen peas and carrots instead of using a fresh carrot. For some reason all I could find was frozen peas, not a bag of frozen peas and carrots.

Do not use canned peas for this recipe. Canned peas are too soft and will turn to mush very quickly as you stir fry the other ingredients.

If you don't have fresh garlic jarred minced garlic will work as well.

In a pinch you can use ginger powder but the flavor pales in comparison to using a piece of fresh ginger.

If you have leftover ginger root stick it in a pot of damp soil. It will grow quickly in a warm environment and can even be grown on a window sill or in a sunny spot by a window.

Vegetarian Cauliflower Fried Rice

To make a vegetarian cauliflower fried rice omit the chicken and eggs from this recipe and increase the amount of vegetables.

You can add more carrots, add shredded cabbage, fresh broccoli florets, water chestnuts, snap peas or any other Asian vegetable you like.

Just saute the raw vegetables in the skillet until slightly wilted before adding the cauliflower rice to the pan.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Notes: Do not add too much soy sauce. The cauliflower will begin to release some moisture as it cooks.
  • I used cauliflower rice made with fresh cauliflower. If you are using store bought frozen cauliflower rice you will need to remove as much moisture as possible before cooking this recipe or it will be watery and affect the flavor..

    That looks delicious. I have been trying to substitute rice into more of my meals in place of empty carbs and can't wait to try this! Pinned.
