Hi there, Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice.
Another simple, healthy, and super delicious meal coming’ at ya! This Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice is a low-carb take on your traditional fried rice. It contains ginger, garlic, scallions, carrots, bell pepper, peas, riced cauliflower, and scrambled eggs. Then tossed with soy sauce & sesame oil and topped off with scallions and sriracha.
I’ve recently become a big time fan of cauliflower rice. I’m talking in the last 2-3 months. And yes, I realize I am behind the times, however, one bad experience and I was out. For awhile..
A few TIPPS takeaways for this Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice would be:
- If you are making your own cauliflower rice, make it right before cooking.
- If you are buying pre-riced cauliflower at the store, buy it within 1-2 days of when you plan on using it.
These might seem like silly or obvious #tipps, however, pre-riced cauliflower starts to have a funny smell if you buy it a few days prior and that might be enough to turn you off of cauliflower rice FOREVER. Trust me, been there done that. But I’m back now, and I’m back for goooooood.
I made this in my large all-clad skillet tonight, but without a doubt bring out that WOK if you have one! Also, if you’d rather have shrimp fried rice, then just go ahead and do it why don’t ya- easy substitution right there!
I served this deliciousness in my favorite coconut bowls and added sriracha because I love love love the extra heat. Happy Sunday and enjoy!!!
