Pork Fried Cauliflower Rice is an easy meal that is chock full of veggies! It’s so tasty your family won’t even miss the rice.
We had some leftover pulled pork to use up, and I remember my mother-in-law telling me that she likes using her leftover pork to make pork fried rice. It is super easy to make and very filling.
Don’t worry if you don’t have leftover pork or are short on time. I will share lots of options for shortcuts as well.
How To Make Pork Fried Cauliflower Rice
Step One: Carrots
Start by cooking minced or chopped carrots in olive oil. You can mince or chop fresh carrots by hand or use a food processor. Or, if you prefer, you can use frozen or canned carrots instead.
Step Two: Garlic and Ginger
Once the carrots have softened, add some minced garlic and minced ginger.
One of my favorite shortcuts is using this minced garlic but you can use fresh garlic powdered garlic.
For fresh garlic, use four cloves. If measuring minced garlic, use two teaspoons. Or if you prefer to use dried minced garlic or garlic powder, use one teaspoon.
Step Three: Liquids
Stir in the remaining olive oil along with the soy sauce and sesame seed oil.
Step Four: Riced Cauliflower
Then add the cauliflower rice and stir fry over medium heat.
Here is my recipe for cauliflower rice if you want to make your own.
Or, as a shortcut, I suggest buying frozen cauliflower rice and warming it in the microwave before stir-frying it.
Step Five: Pork, Peas, and Onions
Now add the cooked pork, peas, and sliced green onions.
As I mentioned, I had leftover shredded pork to use for this recipe, but if you don’t any leftovers and want to make it from scratch, here is my recipe pulled pork (skip the barbecue sauce, of course).
For a shortcut, I suggest buying precooked pulled pork from the grocery store or Costco.
Step Six: Eggs
After the pork and peas are hot, make a well in the center of the pork fried cauliflower rice and add the beaten eggs. Stir and cook them in the center and before mixing them into the fried rice.
