What is Fried Rice?
Fried rice is typically prepared by pan-frying rice with an assortment of vegetables, eggs, and an additional form of protein such as fish, pork, or poultry. There are many variations on fried rice using different herbs, spices, and seasonings, making it an incredibly versatile dish. Fried rice is easily adaptable for low carb diets and can be made Keto-friendly by using cauliflower rice and including low carb vegetables. It can also be a quick, easy and flavorful meal to serve as a main or even as an accompanying side dish.
How Do I Make Cauliflower Rice?
Cauliflower rice is a versatile staple in any low carb diet and will easily take on the flavor of seasonings and sauces. Many grocery stores now carry ready-made cauliflower rice, which can be bought both fresh and frozen. If you are not able to access ready prepared cauliflower rice, it is very simple to make your own. Simply use a food processor or box grater to shred cauliflower florets into rice-sized grains, generating the quantity desired for the recipe.
