This vegetarian cauliflower fried “rice” has the texture and flavor you crave from traditional fried rice, but it’s loaded with veggies, high in fiber and low in carbs. Serve with your favorite protein for a nourishing, paleo-friendly meal.
We love using Terra’s kitchen for a variety of reasons. Not only is it super convenient, but it gives us a basic meal plan for the week (without having to do anything except choose the meals) and saves me time both with grocery shopping and meal planning. It also ensures we cook at home more often than not. We usually order three full meals for the week and sometimes I’ll add on an extra protein option (usually shrimp or chicken) so that we can use it for a simple dinner recipe or as a protein option for lunches.
Add Shrimp for a More Protein
This dish is low in calories and carbs so I recommend pairing it with some sort of protein or serving it as a side dish. I really like adding shrimp, similar to my quinoa fried rice recipe. I simply cook the shrimp in a separate pan with al little oil, salt and pepper and serve it over the cauliflower fried rice for a full meal.

Add cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until broken into rice-size pieces.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 1 tablespoon avocado oil, onion, garlic and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper. Stir while cooking for about 1 minute.
Add cauliflower and salt to the wok and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Season with ground pepper, to taste. Remove to a bowl.
Place the wok back over high heat and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil, sesame oil, broccoli, carrots and corn. Cook, stirring until broccoli is cooked through but still has a crunch, about 3-4 minutes.
Add cauliflower rice back into the wok with the veggies. Add tamari and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds just before plating and serving.
Notes
You can buy pre-chopped cauliflower rice if you don’t own a food processor. This also helps reduce clean up time.
If you want to add a protein to this, I recommend adding shrimp. Simply cook the shrimp in a separate pan with al little oil, salt and pepper and serve it over the cauliflower fried rice for a full meal.
I’ve been wanting to try Terra’s Kitchen since you’ve started posting delicious looking pictures of the meals. I love the convenience and the fact that it’s a healthy meal!
I would like to try Terra’s Kitchen because they focus on healthy meals based on the Mediterranean lifestyle, which is the way I choose to eat. When I try new recipes, I can be sure that they are ones I will keep since their philosophy of clean eating is in line with my priorities. I am excited that healthy eating is becoming more accesible and fun; my victory in the kitchen is when my husband likes the meal too!

How much cauliflower rice do you need if you’re buying it pre-riced? I have a food processor but it’s so messy and my kitchen is tiny.
Hey Justine – I would say about 10 ounces of pre-packaged rice.
If you’re using Cauli rice from a frozen bag do you need to thaw first or ??? Thanks!
Nope! It cooks up really quickly from frozen.
This looks delish- our favorite protein!!

Our family has gone 100% healthy and Terra’s Kitchen looks awesome when you’re cooking healthy for teens.
