A couple of weeks ago my husband and I decided we really wanted to make our health a priority in 2019. Year after year, we’ve each let a little more weight creep on and having two active kids has made us realize how important our truly health it. Cauliflower fried rice is one of the recipes were loving on our new eating plan.
It’s super tasty and chock full of vegetables! Plus it’s dairy free and grain free🙌 We ate this as the main dish with no sides but next time I’ll probably make my simple 5 Ingredient Chicken Soup to go alongside. Or a refreshing cucumber salad would be good too!

If you use cooked chicken, like from a rotisserie, this cauliflower fried rice will come together in 15 minutes! You could even substitute leftover pork or shrimp if you had that on hand, or omit meat altogether for a meatless option! (Wouldn’t truly be vegetarian due to the oyster sauce.)
This cauliflower fried rice will please all palates! The cauliflower really does taste very similar to rice when prepared like this. This is one of those healthy eating items that truly surprised me. Not only is it tasty, it’s also inexpensive! A 12-ounce bag at Aldi is only $2.09. I can’t wait to try out more recipes with cauliflower rice. If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them in the comments below!

I need this in my life!! Do you know if Coconut Aminos would be the same ratio for the Soy Sauce?
Yes! 1:1 ratio of coconut aminos would be perfect. I wanted to give them a try but forgot to get some, lol! Let me know how it turns out!
