The Best Keto Chinese Fried Rice

One of the most popular Chinese takeout dishes is fried rice. It is super simple, yet packs bags of flavor. Luckily, we have the BEST Keto version of this famous dish. Flavored with garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce, this plant-based dish is umami, fragrant, nutty, and absolutely delicious. If you are a fan of Keto-friendly Chinese food, you will love this cauliflower fried rice recipe.

What vegetables can you include in this Keto Chinese fried rice recipe?

For this recipe, we are using broccoli, mushrooms, and red bell peppers. You can add cabbage, brussel sprouts, onion, asparagus, or zucchini. The choices are endless.

Is this Keto recipe gluten-free?

The only ingredient containing gluten in this recipe is soy sauce. Soy sauce is usually made of fermented soybeans and wheat. To make this recipe gluten-free, replace the regular soy sauce with the same amount of gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.

Which pan is best for this Keto Chinese fried rice recipe?

Like any Keto Chinese food recipe, it is ideal to use a wok. A wok cooks the food quickly and evenly from all sides as it has excellent heat retention properties. The next best option would be a cast-iron pan/skillet. Both options are great to get slightly caramelized vegetables without overcooking them.

How can you increase the protein content in this recipe?

To pump up the protein content, you can add eggs, tofu, chicken, beef, or prawns. Cook whichever protein you prefer before stir-frying the rice and vegetables. Then, add it to the fried rice at the last couple of minutes to allow the flavors to marry.

    I am wondering if this would be good if I added eggs to it?

      Made with only broccoli, no mushroom and tamari sauce, in the oven and without cauliflower. Yummy
