This delicious Paleo & Whole30-compliant cauliflower pork fried rice comes together in less than 30 minutes, making it an easy weeknight meal! AIP-optional.

Paleo Whole30 Cauliflower Pork Fried Rice

I can’t believe I never posted a cauliflower rice recipe on the blog before! It’s one of the easiest and fastest dishes to cook, making it a common weeknight meal in our household. I do eat white rice frequently, but cauliflower rice has it’s own appeal when trying to keep things light and lower in carbs, especially if you are going through a sugar detox like the Whole30 challenge.

You can, of course, switch out the protein in this recipe but my favorite is pork fried rice. It’s probably because I’m obsessed with pork chops and will use any excuse to include it in a recipe. I just love how flavorful and fatty they are!

This recipe can also be easily modified to be AIP-friendly! My mom is still staying with us so that’s what I ended up doing. Just omit the black pepper and miso paste and the dish will still be very flavorful. I actually made this for her because she had mentioned how much she missed eating rice while on the autoimmune protocol.

The next time you are craving Asian fried rice, try making this version instead of getting takeout! The restaurant version is often filled with corn starch, sweeteners, unhealthy oils, and MSG, but you can avoid all those crappy ingredients by making this cauliflower pork fried rice at home. You’ll also find that making it at home is just as flavorful, and it’s a great way to fit in some extra serving of veggies!
