Easy Cauliflower Fried Rice (with Frozen Veggies)
This easy-to-make Cauliflower Fried Rice is made with frozen veggies and comes together in just 20-minutes. I love using a combination of eggs and egg whites to increase the protein content of this meal and I add lots of flavor by using a combination of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. This recipe had so much flavor, color, and texture; it's like a party in a pan!

- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables I like peas, green beans, corn + carrot combo
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
- 4-5 cups cauliflower rice
- 3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 5 green onions, minced
Whisk together eggs and egg whites. Coat a small nonstick pan with cooking spray and scramble eggs until done. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet. Add in the onions, garlic, ginger and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the onions are tender and translucent.
Stir in in frozen veggies, red bell pepper, cauliflower rice, and soy sauce. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the “rice” is tender and the veggies are heated through.
Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan and top with green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Enjoy!
- Storing leftovers: Place any leftover cauliflower fried rice in an airtight storage container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Any longer than that and it will start to get soggy.
- Reheating: Reheat the fried rice in a hot skillet or in the microwave for a few minutes.
- Freezing: We don’t recommend freezing this recipe. I haven’t tried it but I think it will get soggy and mushy when reheated.
