How To Make Keto Fried Rice
This is one of my favorite meal prep ideas. I love how it keeps the same flavor and texture even a few days later!
The entire recipe is at the bottom of this post. First, I want to share the main ingredients and any substitutions you can make.
Here’s what I used in my budget-friendly keto fried rice.
- Chicken Breast – Use canned chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time. Other meat options are beef, turkey, or mushrooms.
- Onion – Any type of onion works
- Garlic – Garlic cloves tastes best, but you can use a tablespoon of garlic powder instead
- Ginger – Minced or ground ginger both work well
- Peas – Frozen peas work best, but you can use fresh peas if you have them
- Frozen Cauliflower Rice – This is the easiest ingredient. You can try to make your own cauliflower rice, but it’s time-consuming and just easier to use the frozen bag.
- Sesame Oil
- Eggs
- Coconut Aminos – Soy Sauce can be substituted
- Green Onions
Customize this with your favorite low-carb veggies like broccoli or green beans!
How To Store It
This can easily be made ahead and stored for the week. Here’s how.
If you want to use it for meal prep, store a measured-out amount in a plastic resealable container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can also store it in the freezer. Put it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will last up to 6 months in the freezer.
