A quick and forgiving cauliflower fried rice recipe with eggs that is flavorful, light, and perfect for weeknight dinners. This dish uses simple ingredients and a high-heat cooking method to keep the cauliflower’s texture just right.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) riced cauliflower, fresh or frozen (thawed and drained)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or avocado oil recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced thinly (whites and greens separated)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: ½ cup frozen peas or diced carrots, or diced cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: mince the garlic, slice the green onions (keep whites and greens separate), and beat the eggs in a bowl. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and drain excess moisture.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and white parts of the green onions. Stir frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add the riced cauliflower and spread evenly in the pan. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes to develop a slight golden crust, then stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Push the cauliflower to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and let sit for 15 seconds. Gently scramble until just cooked but still soft, about 1 minute.
  6. Mix the eggs and cauliflower together. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to combine. Taste and add more soy sauce if desired.
  7. Drizzle sesame oil over the top and sprinkle the green parts of the onions. Stir once more and remove from heat immediately.
  8. Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of sriracha or a side of steamed vegetables.

Notes

Keep cauliflower as dry as possible before cooking to avoid mushiness. Cook in batches if pan overcrowded. Add soy sauce near the end to prevent steaming. Use high heat for best texture. For vegan version, omit eggs and use tofu or tempeh with tamari instead of soy sauce.
