You know when you see a new ingredient at Trader Joe’s that it’s going to be a trendy food you’re going to see more and more of. The first time I tried cauliflower rice I was OBSESSED! I had been using finely chopped cauliflower “rice” to make insanely delicious Cauliflower Crusted Grilled Cheese, but using it as an alternative to rice is not only tasty, but a low carb and paleo way to eat.

I’ve been making tons of varieties of cauliflower rice, but this version with a bunch of veggies including edamame, spinach and bell peppers is one of my favorites. I love the vegetables in the recipe, but you can add baby boy choy, grated carrots, chopped broccoli or anything else you have on hand. Everything in the recipe should be chopped so it cooks really quick making it a quick meal to whip up. I totally suggest making double as it’s great to eat right out of the fridge the next day for a quick, low carb lunch.

If your child has been avoiding cauliflower, you’re wanting something a little bit lighter for dinner, or you want a side dish that will really wow your friends, you need to make this Asian Style Cauliflower Rice pronto!

  1. My family loved!!! My 11 year old boy my husband on paleo diet. This made my night easier. I added carrots and broccoli rice in the mix.

  2. I made this tonight with frozen packaged cauliflower–just cooked it a bit longer before adding spinach and other ingredients at the end. And ate it with a cooked egg on top. Seriously delicious! Thank you so much.

  3. This was a hit last night, as a side to salmon. Thank you! I left out the peppers and probably used less spinach.
