Look, although Chinese food is undeniably delicious, it is without a doubt one of the highest in carbs cuisine. Like most, I’m a major fan of Chinese food, but once I went low carb/keto I thought I would never be able to enjoy a plate of fried rice again.
Thankfully I was wrong! This low-carb fried rice is about to change your keto meal planning!
The good news is that once you remove the high-carb rice from the equation and use cauliflower as a rice substitute, it’s quite possible to make healthy low-carb fried rice at home.
Keto Fried Rice

This recipe will allow you to have that “take-out” experience right at home without all the carbs that traditional fried rice has.
Do you know what’s also great about keto fried rice? Well, besides the fact that it is way lower in carbs, is that it’s easier to prepare.
Cauliflower fried rice can be made with both frozen or fresh riced cauliflower and in both cases, it works well.
Plus, if you go the frozen route which I totally recommend because it’s so much faster, it does not have to be thawed ahead of time.
If you grew up with rice being a staple like I did in a Cuban/Dominican home, then the idea of using cauliflower in place of rice seems a bit impossible.
Here’s the thing, cauliflower that has been grated into rice-like bits, truly does have a similar texture to the rice. It also soaks up all the flavor of its seasonings in the same way rice does.
And since cauliflower has a mild taste, well it fools the palate effectively. The key is to season your cauliflower rice properly.

This recipe is not only a healthier option it’s super easy to make. What I also love about making fried rice at home is how simple it is to customize.
You have full control of what you add to it and therefore it’s not only low carb but it’s a meal that you can ensure has everything you enjoy and nothing you don’t.
To make this recipe you will need to either start with a fresh head of cauliflower that will need to be riced or use packaged cauliflower rice for added convenience.
These days it’s pretty easy to find frozen cauliflower in most supermarkets, but if you are not as fortunate, here are the instructions for making cauliflower rice.
Once you have the cauliflower riced, then it’s just a matter of sautéing the shrimp and chopped ham in a large hot skillet or wok with some sesame oil.
Set them aside and cook the vegetables, scramble the eggs, and then add the riced cauliflower and cook until fully steamed and tender.
Lastly, season with soy sauce and combine.
