Onion Beef Fried Rice
We keep it low in points by:
- Using lean beef (or extra lean ground beef)
- Mixing in cauliflower rice (or fully swapping!)
- Minimal oil + big flavor from onions & soy sauce
📝 Ingredients (2 servings)
- 120g extra lean ground beef (5% or less)
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (or 1 cup rice + 1 cup cauliflower rice)
- 1 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1 egg (optional – adds 0–2 pts depending on plan)
- 1–2 cloves garlic (or garlic powder)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional but flavorful)
- Cooking spray
- Green onions (optional)
🍳 Instructions
- Spray pan and cook beef until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In same pan, spray again and sauté onions until soft + slightly caramelized.
- Add garlic and cook 30 sec.
- Add cauliflower rice (and regular rice if using). Cook 3–5 mins.
- Push to side, scramble egg (if using).
- Add beef back in + soy sauce + sesame oil. Mix well.
- Cook another 1–2 mins, top with green onions.
🔢 Points (approx)
- All cauliflower version: ~1–2 points per serving
- Half rice / half cauliflower: ~3–4 points
- With egg + sesame oil: +1–2 points
💡 Tips to keep points LOW
- Use spray instead of oil
- Go heavy on onions → adds sweetness without points
- Add veggies (cabbage, zucchini, mushrooms) for volume = 0 points
- Skip sesame oil if you want absolute lowest points
