Cauliflower Fried Rice: Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work well to save leftovers of this recipe?

This recipe tastes best the same day, in my opinion. The cauliflower just gets so overly cauliflower-smelling when you have it as leftovers. That being said, it should still last 4-5 days in the fridge!

What sauce did you put on top in the pictures?

For the sauce on top, I just whisked equal parts soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and oyster sauce together and drizzled it over top with sesame seeds. I like a little pretty flair like that.

Can I use frozen cauliflower rice here?

We’d really recommend using fresh cauliflower in this case. Frozen cauliflower might give off too much moisture. BUT in a pinch, frozen cauli rice is definitely an option.

Can I add protein to this?

Definitely! Tofu in place of the eggs would be a great, easy option. If you’re looking for something else (like chicken), we would cook/sauté that in the pan first, remove it, and then add it back in at the end.

Simple, Healthy, Delicious

So all that to say, let’s make Simple, Healthy, and Delicious completely non-negotiable in my back-to-it cooking routines.

Which works out nicely because it’s exactly what we have going on today.

15 Minute Cauliflower Fried Rice is loaded with veggies and protein (eggs or tofu, maybs?) and it is drizzled with a little somethin’ extra (soy sauce, hoisin glaze, take your pick) and it is, in fact, simple, healthy, deliciously delicious.

Let’s Talk About Cauliflower Rice

At this point, we’re all pretty familiar with Cauliflower Rice. It’s pretty obnoxious at first glance (why not just make RICE? does everything have to be made from cauliflower?) but upon further investigation and much cauliflower rice consumption, I can confidently say that this is worth it.

It’s just straight up vegetables, with a little oil, a little sauce, and a little egg or tofu for protein.

Also – it’s so fast and easy.

Just pulse the raw cauliflower into “rice” in the food processor and then stir fry the whole thing up. No soaking, no pressing, no strange and unusual kitchen moves other than just pulsing a few pieces of cauliflower into this magical rice substitute.

This recipe is too easy for you to even have any excuses. Get all your ingredients out (a little mise en place, maybe? #fancy) and I promise it won’t take you more than 15-ish minutes. Dinner! Ready! Set! Go!
