Are you ready for this? Our kids have been totally digging cauliflower rice.

We love this best low carb fried rice recipe. It's low in carbs not matter what diet you're following - or even if you're not! Keto cauliflower fried rice is healthy, it's delicious and it's quick to prepare.
How to Make Cauliflower Fried Rice
If you'd really like, you can make your own low carb cauliflower rice in your food processor. Truly, it's not that hard to do.
If you used pre-cut cauliflower florets half the work is already done for you. Just throw it in and pulse until you have little bitty cauliflower crumbles.
But quite truthfully, it's waaaaaaay easier to just throw a few bags of frozen cauliflower rice into your cart when you cruise through the freezer aisle.
Zero effort wins in my book! So now, we've got our cauliflower rice, no matter how you got it.
Heat a large sided skillet over medium hight heat. In the meantime, lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add butter to the heated pan.
Add the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove the eggs just as they're set - they'll cook quick.
Want To Save This Recipe For Later?
Pull the eggs and set aside on a plate.
Add the rest of the butter, the frozen cauliflower, frozen peas and carrots, green onions, ginger, garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
This is one time when I'll say that green onions will really make this recipe. If you can get your hands on them for this recipe, go for it!
Now, I could say the same about the fresh ginger. But hey, I'm living in the middle of a cornfield. I don't have ginger root at the ready (though it does freeze well, too if you ever have some on hand).
My point here is if you have fresh ginger, have at it. But if you don't you can totally substitute ground ginger, which you probably have in your spice cabinet anyway.
Stir, stir, stir until the frozen veggies are headed through.
Add the tamari, sesame oil, and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Cook for a minute or two.
You can use tamari, coconut aminos, or soy sauce as desired.
Stir constantly, or until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and top with additional green onion, if desired, and serve immediately.
