What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 cups riced cauliflower fresh or frozen
- 300 g ground pork
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 3 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 stalks green onions sliced
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pork
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat and add ground pork. Break it up with a spatula and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Push the pork to the side of the pan.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side of the pan and scramble them quickly over high heat until just set. Mix the scrambled eggs into the cooked pork.
Step 3: Add Cauliflower Rice
Add the riced cauliflower to the pan and stir-fry everything together over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy. Pour in soy sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4: Finish and Garnish
Drizzle sesame oil over the fried rice and toss one final time. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce if needed, and top with sliced green onions before serving.
Easy substitutions

- ground pork → ground chicken or shrimp for a lighter protein
- soy sauce → coconut aminos for a soy-free and lower sodium option
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using wet or thawed frozen cauliflower rice without draining which makes the dish soggy
- Cooking over low heat instead of high heat which steams rather than fries the cauliflower
