Why You'll Love This Recipe
This recipe is great in so many ways.
It's easy, so you can easily whip it up even on busy weeknights.
It's super healthy, loaded with healthy beef (grass-fed is best), and loads of veggies.
It's special diet friendly. Swap out whatever veggies you need an you can even swap out the beef for eggs or another protein. I personally love making it with beef, and since we have one person in our home who will not eat eggs, that version works best for him!
Ingredients

Recipe Notes and Substitutions
- Vegetable Options: Besides the vegetables listed in the recipe, I've also used chopped lettuce, radish, and bean sprouts.
- Meat Alternatives: The meat can be substituted with more egg. Any ground meat will work, I used beef but pork or even chicken will fit.
- Vegan Alternative: Use beans or tofu in place of the meats, or omit the meat and don't replace it.
- Soy Alternative: If you need to be soy free, feel free to substitute coconut aminos + salt for the tamari. The best fat to use is butter, for that nutty flavour, however if you can't eat dairy, olive oil or baking coconut oil will do.
Special Diet Options
AIP: Omit the sesame seeds and the hot red pepper sauce. Use olive or coconut oil for the fat. Also, substitute organic coconut aminos and additional salt for the tamari.

Keto Fried Rice (paleo, grain free, with AIP option)
Ingredients
- 1/2 large cucumber
- 1/2 small zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 3.5 ounces crinkly cabbage
- 10 ounces ground beef
- 2 eggs, scrambled
- 16 ounces cauliflower (or 3 cups cauliflower rice, fresh or frozen, or cooked short grain rice)
- 1/3 cup sesame seeds (omit for AIP)
- 1/3 cup butter (or either olive or coconut oil)
- 3 tablespoons tamari
- hot red pepper sauce (omit for AIP)
- fat (for sauteing)
Instructions
- Grate vegetables into a large bowl.
- In a little fat, brown the ground meat in a frying pan over medium high heat and add to bowl.
- Scramble eggs in a pan with a little coconut oil or butter.
- Process the cauliflower through a food processor until rice sized. Add a little fat into the frying pan and add cauliflower and a bit of water and saute. The cauliflower should be cooked and soft but still with some bite, not mushy. (Omit this step if using rice.)
- Add cauliflower (or rice) to large bowl.
- Pour sesame seeds onto a clean dry pan and shake to distribute the seeds. Heat at medium heat, occasionally shaking to prevent burning. When the seeds are brown and fragrant, add to the large bowl.
- Pour oil or let butter melt on top of the hot ingredients. Pour over tamari and mix well.
- Serve and add hot sauce to individual bowls. Enjoy!

I often add ish to the end of a food name to denote that it’s not really what it is…like my Pad Thai-ish which is made with Coke zero, crunchy peanut butter, and shirataki noodles.
Love this idea. Going in to name this “bibimbapish” :).
I am always ordering BimBop at restaurants. I love doing it with cauliflower plus it has a great flavor .
:). I’ve never had it at a restaurant. Yum!
