A healthy spin on the take-out classic, your entire family will love this cauliflower chicken “fried rice” – with or without the Sriracha!

Confession: When I run low on rice vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha or any of my other Asian pantry staples, I start to get major anxiety. Just as a baker might worry if they are out of eggs, sugar or flour, I start to twitch when I use the last drop of soy sauce or chili garlic paste.

We eat a lot of Asian food in our house every week so I’m surprised it took me so long to finally try cauliflower “fried rice.” (To be clear, there is no rice in this dish.) Inspired by my good friend Kristin who recently made Gina’s vegetarian version, I decided to give it a go in my own kitchen.

Chicken breasts are always in my fridge but this dish would be fabulous with any protein you have on hand including shrimp, pork, chicken thighs or edamame. I’m a Sriracha addict but my toddler and husband aren’t fans so feel free to leave it out depending on personal preference.

If you’re weary of replacing rice with cauliflower, let me assure you: this dish does not taste like cauliflower. Even if you don’t love cauliflower, I’m guessing you will still love this fried rice. Fresh garlic, toasted sesame oil, and fragrant ginger completely transform the cauliflower into your favorite Chinese take-out dish. Trust me, my husband would have been the first to tell me otherwise.

Your fork is waiting.
