Keto Chinese Sticky Rice

You’ll love this easy Keto Chinese food recipe because it’s everyone’s favorite takeout side dish: sticky rice. Instead of rice grains, your sticky rice is made of cauliflower rice. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the cauliflower once it’s cooked. Cauliflower rice is very good at remaining mild in flavor while absorbing the flavors it’s cooked with. Sticky rice is just made with vinegar and a little sugar. In this case, you’ll be using a brown sugar replacement. You can mold this sticky rice in a bowl, use it to make Keto sushi, or eat it as is. Just keep the sticky rice stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator if you have leftovers.

Frozen or raw cauliflower rice?

You can use either type of cauliflower rice in this recipe. If you use frozen rice cauliflower, you’ll need to let the pieces thaw in your pan or thaw in advance before you follow the cooking instructions. If you’re ricing raw cauliflower, make sure to add the extra water early enough to your pan to avoid browning the cauliflower.

Storage instructions

You don’t have to store this Keto sticky rice like Chinese sticky rice! Simply keep any leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. It should last up to 5 days. Additionally, this means you can use this Keto Chinese food recipe in your meal prep rotation as well.

Where to find brown sugar replacement

Brown sugar replacement or substitution can be found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. Check either where the sugar is kept or in the gluten-free section. You’ll find the brown sugar replacement amongst the powdered and granulated erythritol or other Keto sweeteners.

Recipe Steps

10 min

  • Step 1

    You can choose to start with frozen or raw riced cauliflower. Add the rice to a large pan on your stove and heat it at medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, pour cold water into the pan and place a lid on top. Let the cauliflower rice simmer in the water for just 3-4 minutes.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Remove the lid from your pan, turn the heat to high, and let all the water in the pan evaporate. Once evaporated, reduce the heat to low. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and stir to combine.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    While on low heat, continually fold the rice over in the pan while more moisture evaporates and you feel the rice start to become more sticky and dense. Continue folding the rice over for approximately 2-3 minutes, making sure the rice never browns. Serve warm.
