Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice
This Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice uses finely pulsed cauliflower to replace traditional rice, providing a low-carb base with a tender yet slightly crisp texture. Cooked with diced red and green peppers, fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions, it delivers a vibrant mix of flavors enhanced by coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil. Soft scrambled eggs stirred in add protein and richness, making it a balanced dish. It's a versatile side or main that works well alongside various proteins like chicken or shrimp.
