    Asian Cauliflower Rice is a delicious recipe which tastes just as good as your favourite Asian style fried rice. The best part is that it’s healthy, Keto, whole 30, low carb, paleo and vegan too. Here is how to make it.

    Asian cauliflower Rice served in a serving bowl.

    About This Recipe

    It’s basically cauliflower broken down into very small rice-sized pieces and then stir-fried just like you would do for rice.

    It tastes delicious and is a very very healthy option as compared to eating rice. For people who want to cut down on carbs, this is a great option. This cauliflower rice is

    Is it good For you?

    Cauliflower has 25 calories per cup of serving as compared to 215 for a cup of rice.

    It is loaded with fibers, vitamins, and minerals and is in fact one of the healthiest vegetables. Making this rice using cauliflower gives you access to all these good things.

    Does it taste good?

    To be frank, I was a little skeptical about the taste initially, but one spoonful and I was in love with this concept. 

    This rice does not taste like the regular rice but it tastes good surprisingly. In fact it taste very very good. You have to try it once to believe it. This is all I can say.

    How to make it without a Food Processor?

    If you don’t have a food processor, you can make cauliflower rice using a grater. Use the medium grate to grate the cauliflower and then use it in the recipe.

    Can this rice be frozen?

    This rice can be very easily frozen. So go ahead, double the recipe and freeze it for later use.

    Just thaw it on the counter for an hour and then microwave until warm before serving.

    Some stores have started to sell readymade frozen cauliflower rice. So you can pick that as well if you want the process even more fast.

    Pro Tips by Neha

    Use a food processor or a grater to make the cauliflower rice. Using these will ensure that the result is rice-like and not a paste of cauliflower.

    You can add shrimp, pork, beef, shredded chicken, or eggs to your rice if you wish to.

    You can add veggies of your choice to this rice. Try adding corn, peas, capsicum, etc.

    Increase or decrease the quantity of sauces according to your taste.

    You can ass some szechuan sauce if you like your food spicy.

    To save time, you can rice the cauliflower in bulk and freeze it in small batches and use it whenever needed.

    Tools Required

    You should have a food processor or a grater to make cauliflower rice.

      Just wanted to point out that oyster sauce is NOT vegan, so this is not a vegan recipe. It looks good otherwise though!
