This Pineapple Cauliflower Fried Rice is a low carb, gluten free version of its Thai counterpart, replacing rice with cauliflower…
I’ve had my fair share of amazing Pineapple Fried Rice and this week I had a craving for it. Since we are trying to low carb it, I made Pineapple Cauliflower Fried Rice. I replaced rice with cauliflower thereby getting in more vegetables in our diet.
We are approaching the last week of March and taking in all the Summer heat we could take. We have three getaways with the family this season and I am excited because the first one is coming up on the second week of April. I am a bit disappointed though because it’s the end of the first quarter and I don’t think I’ve worked on my One Word for The Year and my #TheBetterMeProject.
It’s become extremely difficult to go back to healthy eating for me since peanutbutter♥ started working at home. I know I have to be firm and do that LCIF I was planning last January.
I’m taking baby steps and I’m starting to cook a few low carb dishes for the family.
This Pineapple Caulifower Fried Rice has all the flavors of the traditional Thai Pineapple Fried Rice except the rice. The riced cauliflower was sautéed in olive oil with onions, garlic, red bell pepper, shrimp, fresh pineapple, curry powder, and fish sauce.
The fresh pineapple used for the fried rice was carved from the peel and the peel was used as a bowl. It looks more appetizing, doesn’t it?
I’m sharing a little secret with you.. aside from craving Pineapple Fried Rice, another reason I’m making this is because we are gearing up for another Pineapple-themed party on our first Summer lakwatsa!

The presentation of this meal is so neat! I’ve never tried pineapple cauliflower fried rice, but now I am so tempted.
This sounds good. But is the fish sauce necessary (allergic)? Is there a substitute? Thanks for sharing!
If you’re allergic, then you just can use salt..
I would really enjoy that dish. Cooking with pineapple is always a good idea!
