How do you get cauliflower rice to get crispy like fried rice?
We have a fun trick for you! When we want our cauliflower rice to get extra crispy bits in it, we add some hempseed. The hempseed crisps up really well and adds that extra bit of crunch to the texture you expect when you want to have fried rice. The hempseed just ends up taking on the flavors used in the rest of the dish, so other than the crispy bits you’d really never know it was hempseed mixed in.
Is this breakfast fried rice good for meal prep?
This fried rice recipe is great for meal prep to have breakfast on hand. You can make a batch Sunday, and then re-heat for breakfast Monday morning. You’ll appreciate the satisfying start to your week! If you have time in the morning though, it’s also super quick to make, especially since the sausage links are pre-cooked and you’re really just heating everything up in a skillet and scrambling some eggs in it.
Breakfast Fried Rice (Low Carb)
Ingredients
- 1 package Jones Dairy Farm No Antibiotics Ever Golden Brown Turkey Sausage Links, (thawed)
- 4 green onions, diced
- 1 small head cauliflower, riced, (about 6 cups)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Slice sausage links into small pieces. Dice green onion. Rice cauliflower in a food processor with a grating attachment or with a hand grater.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add sesame oil. Once hot, add sliced sausage and hemp seeds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add cauliflower rice to the skillet along with the green onions, coconut aminos, fish sauce and cayenne pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to soften.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and stir them around to scramble. Continue to stir until the eggs are fully cooked, about 2-3 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve and enjoy.

Definitely gonna try this!! Can you substitute chia seeds instead of hemp seeds?
We haven’t tried it with chia seeds, but I don’t think it would have quite the same effect.
Ok thank you!
Soooo good and easy! Nice to have a meal that changes up the traditional breakfast
Agreed, it’s a nice change of pace!
This one is so yum! I made a version of this for years as an easy Friday night dinner. Once I tried this one, never went back. Can’t do fish sauce in the morning, my tummy doesn’t like it, but for Friday night dinner, I’m there!
Can’t go wrong with breakfast for dinner :).
What an easy and delicious breakfast, it was very tasty and different. Perfect for a quick weekend breakfast or brunch. I did substitute Applegate Chicken Sausage that was Whole30 approved instead of pork sausage. Yum!
So easy. So good! Perfect for meal planning for the week.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe Tricia :).
This is awesome! The protein is huge and carbs low!!!! I’ve been looking for a breakfast like this! TY….you guys are wonderful. I love your blog and recipes! Very cool!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the recipe :).
The Jones Dairy Farm Turkey sausage I found had sugar in it making it non Whole 30 compliant.
Yes, they have two versions of their pre-cooked turkey sausage. Only the “no antibiotics ever” version is Whole30 compliant. However, feel free to use any sausage that is compliant for your Whole30. A ground sausage would work also, here is our recipe for homemade ground sausage.
So good. Will be great for my work breakfast all week long!!
We’re thrilled to hear you like it! And way to go on the meal prepping and making your week easier! Thanks for taking the time to come back and share! We’re so grateful you gave our recipe a try! 🙂
