Cauliflower Rice Stir-Fry Flavorful and Easy Meal
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, grated into rice-sized pieces
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers, diced (red, yellow, and green)
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish sesame seeds
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Grate the florets using a box grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the diced bell peppers, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still vibrant.
- Stir in the cauliflower rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chopped green onions just before serving, tossing them through the stir-fry for added freshness.
- Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for an extra crunch.
