10 Minute Healthy Cauliflower Rice
An amazingly healthy twist on takeout fried rice but you can’t even tell the difference. So EASY to make too!
I was shopping at Trader Joe’s the other day and I found a hidden gem that I have never seen before. You ready for it? It’s riced cauliflower!
It’s a seasonal item and apparently they run out of these quickly so I stocked up on 10 of these when I had the chance.
Okay well maybe it was like 12 bags but hey. You can always find a use for cauliflower rice.
But don’t worry. If you don’t have access to a Trader Joe’s, you can easily “rice” the cauliflower yourself using a food processor. It takes like 10 seconds.
And then this fried rice takes just about 10 minutes.
That’s the beauty of using cauliflower instead of rice. Not only is it healthy but you don’t have to wait that 20 or 30 minutes for your rice to cook through.
You can just toss everything together in a pan, give it a stir and add in your seasonings. That’s it!
Easiest thing ever, right?
I should also mention that you can barely tell the difference here. Your picky eaters will be pounding this down without blinking!

Ingredients
- 24 ounces cauliflower florets*
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
