This Keto Fried Rice is totally delicious with our Japanese Shrimp Sauce! The perfect low-carb takeout inspired recipe!

So this post is actually a 2 for 1 kind of deal, you’ll find both recipes, Keto Fried Rice and Keto Shrimp Sauce (both 5-ingredients) below, and just to be completely open and honest – when I say I “drizzled a little” shrimp sauce on top, smothered may have been a more fitting description.

I love to serve some chicken thighs marinated in tamari and swerve right on top but feel free to pair this with your favorite Asian inspired protein, or just have it by itself. It’s delicious either way.  My favorite part of this recipe (and every fried rice recipe for that matter) is the egg.

Back in my college days, I was known to make fried rice omelets with leftover fried rice from the Japanese place across from campus. That recipe is in no way shape or form keto, but just FYI it is an extraordinarily effective hangover cure.

Want to make this Keto Fried Rice your own? Read below for ways to change it up!

How to customize your Keto Fried Rice:

  • add in protein! Shrimp, Steak, Chicken, or even Scallops are delicious!
  • switch up the vegetables – broccoli, water chestnuts, green beans, onion, ginger are all great!

Can this be a side dish?

Yes! Serve smaller portions along with your entree. Try this Keto Mongolian Beef and Broccoli!

How to store:

We love to freeze this Keto Fried Rice in individual containers, it makes a last-minute meal super simple. To reheat simply dump the frozen rice into your skillet with a touch of oil, reheat until it’s crispy and fluffy.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
