Perfect Paleo Pork Fried Rice
Damn, I really nailed this one. Just make it, you'll love it and you'll have leftovers for days and it's perfect for lunches! This one has a few steps to it and you have to dirty a few pans, just make your hubs or the kids or your cat do dishes when you make it :).
Quick favor - will you let me know which way you like the photos displayed better? Just say either top grid or bottom slide show. Loads of #paleolove coming your way!
Ingredients
- sauté pan - 1 large
- sauté pan - 1 medium
- one small egg pan
- a couple of wooden spoons
- some ingredient bowls
- pork tenderloin - 2 cups, chopped
- carrots - 2, diced
- garlic - 3 cloves, minced
- bell pepper - 1, diced
- serrano chile - 1, minced
- green onions - 1/2 cup
- broccoli - 1 head, broken apart into small florets stems removed
- cauliflower - f2 heads, finely minced in a food processor (you don't need 2 heads for this recipe, just 1, but thank me later when you have an extra bag of cauliflower rice in the freezer :))
- eggs - 4
- coconut oil - 4 tbsp
- fish sauce - 1 tbsp
- coconut aminos - 1/8 cup
- lime - 1/2, juiced
- Salt and pep
Instructions
- Add a teeny bit of coconut oil to the small egg pan and scramble the eggs some salt and pep, set aside in the oven to keep warm.
- Melt 2 tbsp of the coconut oil in the largest sauté pan and add the serrano chile, broccoli and carrots, sautee for 15 minutes on medium heat. Then add the bell peppers and sauté for another 10. The veggies cook differently so this process will leave you with perfect textures all around.
- Meanwhile, get your other smaller sauté pan out and start the cauliflower "rice" (just one head, remember the other is in a tupperware in the freezer for later!) with 2 tbsp coconut oil on medium heat. Dont stir! Just make an nice even layer and don't touch it for 5 minutes. Give it a stir and watch it start to brown, from here you can stir frequently for about 10 minutes and turn off the heat.
- Back to the large stir fry pan- add the pork, garlic, fish sauce, green onions, lime juice and coconut aminos.
- Add the scrambled eggs and the coconut "rice."
- Mix everything together well and serve in the middle of a nice big plate.
- Add another dash of coconut aminos if you like. I didn't have Sriracha but I sure wish I did!

Top grid. Making the rice for dinner. Hoping the fam loves it!
This turned out really well. Glad I doubled it for our family of four. The boys both enjoyed it and it will make good leftovers! Two questions…where’s the lime juice go in and how much green onion?
I just made this. Holy crap it’s good!!! I had Siriracha sauce and let me tell you, you DO wish you had it! Next time…. 😀
Awesome Melissa!! I’m so glad you liked it This makes my hear soar!
@ Lori-let me make the update so that’s more clear next time! Thanks for the tip!
This came out soooo good! Absolutely love the cauliflower rice — and our 1 year old baby gobbled it all up too
Thanks for another great recipe!
Made this tonight, it was fantastic! Used what i had on hand: no carrots, broccoli or scallions. Instead used chicken (not pork), bok choy (leaves and bottoms), asparagus, onions, leeks, mushrooms and red pepper. Also added 1T. minced fresh ginger. Sprinkled red peppers on top for more spice. Will be having leftovers tomorrow, can’t wait! Great recipe.
Awesome Amy! I freaking love to hear people’s own interpretations of my dishes. The fresh ginger is an awesome add on! Thanks for the comment :)))

Sounds Yummy! I made roasted cauliflower “mashed potatoes” for my meat and potato lovin’ husband, and to my great surprise he loved it, so I’m looking forward to trying the cauliflower rice now, too!
Right on Wendy! Such a win when the hubs gets on board with a healthier option! Cheers to you my love!
