Ingredients

  1. 2 cups frozen peas
  2. ½ cup water
  3. ¼ cup sesame oil, divided
  4. 4 cups cubed pork loin
  5. 6 green onions, sliced
  6. 1 large carrot, cubed
  7. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  8. 20 ounces shredded cauliflower
  9. 6 tablespoons soy sauce
  10. 2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Stir peas and water together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook and stir until peas are tender and heated through, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard water.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork in hot oil until lightly browned on all sides and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil the wok. Saute green onions, carrot, and garlic in hot oil until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower; cook and stir until cauliflower had a tender but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Stir pork, peas, and and soy sauce into cauliflower mixture and stir-fry until mixture is hot and slightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Move pork-cauliflower mixture to one side of the wok; pour beaten eggs onto empty side. Scramble eggs until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes; stir cooked eggs into the pork-cauliflower mixture, breaking up any large chunks.
  6. Shred cauliflower using the largest side of a grater; the end product resembles grains of rice.
  7. You can use any lean meat in this dish.

Katherine Elliott
We were very pleased with this meal. I did marinate the meat with some soy sauce and ginger. I forgot to add the eggs but didn’t realize that until I read the instructions again after dinner. Didn’t miss the rice or the egg apparently.
Jimmy Shields
I made this dish with no changes. Served to 4 adults. All but one liked it, but she doesn’t like rice anyway. We tossed her vote out, and will be serving again.
Deborah Bridges
Skipped the meat, added a diced jalapeño pepper, edamame, fresh grated ginger, riced a whole head of cauliflower, used 4 eggs. YUM! Leftovers are delicious, too!
Wendy Kaufman
Nice dish and easy. I found some snow peas in the refrigerator, so I threw those in as well. I would say it serves 5 instead of 6.
Walter Smith
Maybe I should have patted dry the pork, but there was a lot of water in the wok so the meat never really browned. I just thought the flavor was OK.
Sharon Brooks
This dish was delicious! I used frozen cauliflower rice and I did add some teriyaki sauce, but followed the recipe other than that and my husband and I couldn’t believe how much this tasted like pork fried rice from our favorite Chinese restaurant. I’m not a huge cauliflower lover, but I’m trying to cut carbs and this was exactly what I was craving. It is a keeper!
Rebecca Tran
I shredded my own cauliflower in the food processor and it worked really well. I used ground turkey in place of the pork. Ended up adding 1 more egg.
Patricia Burke
I made this with a few minor changes. I used frozen riced cauliflower and I subbed chicken for pork loin. I also used the recipe adjuster to cut it down to 3 servings. Very tasty though next time I will use fresh cauliflower as the frozen turned out kind of mushy
Craig Gibson
I used Costco pre-made cauliflower frozen “rice”. Much easier. I also salted and pepperd the pork and added ginger. It seemed to plain for me to risk a dissapointment.
Robert Pineda
This is 5* for something so healthy and 4 as compared to regular fried rice. I used green beans instead of peas and added some edamame.
Tyler West
Delicious recipe, I added a bit more soy sauce because to me it was too bland and I also added in some sweet teriyaki sauce and it hit I would definitely recommend
Brittany Lee
Great recipe I added ginger and some leftover mushrooms
Debbie Walter
My only change was that I did not have the green onions, so I used regular onion instead and added some cilantro for color. Flavor is delicious!
Amber Davis
Really good. 1 change-we used 4 tblspns soy. Awesome.
Monica Morales
I thought it was very yummy and am looking forward to making it again.
George Riley
I thought it was very yummy and am looking forward to making it again.
David Vaughan
So I didn’t use a lot of sesame oil with this recipe because I only have the dark one and that smoke point is too low. The primary revision I made to this recipe is adding a cup of long grain rice. I couldn’t tell when eating it which part was the rice and which part was the cauliflower. It blended very well. Will definitely make again.
Dale Evans
I made it exactly like recipe . It was delicious. My daughter is a physical education teacher and she brought it for lunch and loved it!
Kelly Meza
We have been making this for a while now, it is a family favorite! So good.
Emily Jensen
Excellent recipe! I substituted ham.
Beth Scott
Delicious! I actually made it “vegetarian” and it came out delicious. I cannot imagine it with the pork taste! YUMMY!
