Treat this just like fried rice. Add what ever you would normally put in your own. I used the ingredients below but feel free to experiment.
PrintNo Carb Fried Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower ( approx 1 kg- 2lb total with stalk but no green leaves)
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 2 rashers of bacon ( chopped -a good smoky one is perfect)
- 1 small onion ( diced)
- 1 cup of peas
- 1 cup of corn kernels
- 1/2 cup of diced red pepper and 1/2 cup of celery diced
- 1 full cup of chopped coriander ( optional)
- 1/4 cup of chopped chives
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of light soy ( meaning no sweet & not dark thick soy )
- Start your fried rice by roughly chopping the cauliflower then processing in batches till finely chopped to the size of rice grains, but not pureed.
- Boil a large pot of water and pour in the “rice”. bring back up to the boil and then drain. Leave to drain while preparing the other ingredients ( can be done ahead)
Instructions
- Once the other ingredients are chopped begin the rice. Put a wok over a full flame and heat well. Add the oil and then onion, bacon and celery. Stir fry until soft. Add the red pepper, corn and toss till hot. Add the cauliflower rice and keep stir frying on high. If there is any liquid let it evaporate. Beat the eggs together with a drop of soy.
- Push the rice aside and pour in the egg leaving till nearly set. Add the rest of the soy sauce and toss all together with the “rice”, eggs and vegetables till well combined. Add salt to taste. Mix through the chopped herbs just before serving
- Serve with a fried eggs, cucumber and chopped chilli’s in soy sauce.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is no carb fried rice made from?
It typically uses riced cauliflower in place of white rice, which is low in carbohydrates and mimics the texture of fried rice when cooked in a hot pan.
How do I rice cauliflower at home?
Cut cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-sized grains. You can also grate it on a box grater. 
How do I keep the cauliflower rice from getting soggy?
Use a very hot pan and do not overcrowd it. Cook in batches if needed, and stir-fry rather than steam.
Can I use frozen riced cauliflower?
Yes, but squeeze out as much moisture as possible after thawing. Excess water will cause steaming rather than frying.
What proteins work well in this dish?
Scrambled egg is classic. Shrimp, diced chicken, or tofu all work. Add protein before the vegetables so everything finishes cooking at the same time.
I agree about omitting the peas & corn to get the carb count down but you get a lot of “good” carbs from the cauliflower, onions & peppers, which is healthier.
No carb??? The entire recipe contains about 120g of carbohydrate or about 20g per serving. Certinly a lot less carby than the real thing, but nowhere close to no-carb. Eliminate the carby corn and peas and you get it down to 11-12g per serving.
