Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower about 1kg [2.2 lbs]
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced (about 150g [5.3 oz])
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced (same amount)
  • 2 medium-sized zucchini julienned (about 400g [14 oz])
  • 1 medium carrot julienned (about 100g [3.5 oz])
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil 45 ml
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped (15 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce 30 ml
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil 15 ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by prepping your cauliflower.
  • Rinse the cauliflower head and pat dry.
  • Chop it into smaller florets.
  • Use a food processor or hand grater to rice the florets until they resemble grains of rice.
  • In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté until aromatic, around 1-2 minutes.
  • Introduce the riced cauliflower to the pan.
  • Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden.
  • Time to add your julienned carrot, sliced bell peppers, and zucchini.
  • Stir-fry the mix for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring the veggies are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil.
  • Stir well to combine, letting all those beautiful flavors meld together.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir well one last time.
  • Serve your Cauliflower Rice and Veggie Stir-Fry hot.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

TOP TIPS :
  1. For an even more aromatic flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of finely chopped lemongrass.
  2. If you desire a spicier kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes or a dollop of chili paste.
  3. Ensure you don’t overcook the veggies – retaining a bit of crunch is key!
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
  • Serve your Cauliflower Rice and Veggie Stir-Fry in a bowl with a side of steamed broccoli.
  • For those looking for added protein, grilled tofu or chicken breast pairs wonderfully with this dish.
  • Drizzle a bit of teriyaki sauce on top for an extra layer of flavor.
