If you're following a keto diet but still craving Chinese takeout, this Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice is the perfect solution! This low-carb version of traditional fried rice uses cauliflower rice instead of regular rice and is packed with veggies and protein. It's a quick and easy dish that's sure to satisfy your cravings.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower, riced
1/2 lb. ground pork
3 large eggs, whisked
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
2 tbsp. coconut oil
3 tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp. sesame oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Rice the cauliflower by cutting it into florets and pulsing them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. 

Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet and add the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the frozen peas and carrots and cook until they are heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Push the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the whisked eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through and then mix them with the veggies.

Add the riced cauliflower, soy sauce or tamari, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.

Add the cooked ground pork back to the skillet and mix everything together.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve hot.

I hope this helps!
