Better Than Takeout Fried Rice (In Just 5 Minutes!) 🔥

 

What You'll Need

 

The Base & Veggies

• 12 oz (340g) cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup white onion, finely diced
• 1/3 cup carrots, grated or finely shredded
• 1/3 cup green peas
• 3 green onions, chopped (separate green and white parts)

 

The Protein

• 1 large egg, beaten

 

Sauce & Aromatics

• 1 tablespoon garlic olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or liquid aminos)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 2 teaspoons Pam’s Prep No Salt Seasoning

 

How to Make It

 

1. Prep the Cauliflower Base:

• Ensure your cauliflower rice is completely dry.
• If using fresh or thawed frozen cauliflower rice, press it firmly between layers of paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
• This step is the key to preventing mushy fried rice.

 

2. The High-Heat Sear:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat.
• Drizzle in the garlic olive oil.
• Once the oil is hot and shimmering, spread the cauliflower rice into an even layer.
• Allow it to sit undisturbed for 60 seconds to develop golden, slightly charred edges.
• Toss and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.

 

3. Sauté the Aromatics & Veggies:

• Add the diced onion, grated carrots, ground ginger, ground fennel, Pam’s Prep No Salt Seasoning, and garlic powder.
• Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the green peas and stir to combine.

 

4. Build the Egg Fountain:

• Create a well in the center of the rice and vegetable mixture.
• Pour the beaten egg into the center.
• Scramble the egg inside the well until soft, fluffy, and fully cooked.
• Gently fold the eggs into the rest of the mixture.

 

5. Add the Glaze:

• Drizzle the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and cayenne pepper evenly over the mixture.
• Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until well coated and heated through.

 

Final Touch

• Garnish with the green onion tops if desired.
• Serve immediately and ENJOY!
