Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (or 4 cups pre‑riced cauliflower)

  • 1 bell pepper, diced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rice the Cauliflower: Cut cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. (Or use pre‑riced cauliflower.)
  2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium‑high heat.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add garlic and onion; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add Firm Veggies: Stir in bell pepper and carrots. Cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Add Remaining Veggies: Add broccoli and snap peas. Stir‑fry another 2‑3 minutes.
  6. Stir in Cauliflower Rice: Add cauliflower rice and cook, stirring often, until tender but not soggy.
  7. Add Protein: Stir in cooked protein of choice and heat through.
  8. Season: Drizzle in soy sauce, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. Toss everything well.
  9. Finish: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Top with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional lime or chili sauce.

Notes

  • Use frozen cauliflower rice to save time—just cook off moisture.
  • Tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas work great for plant‑based versions.
  • Coconut aminos are a great soy‑free substitute.
  • Add red pepper flakes or chili garlic sauce for heat.
  • Stir in chopped cashews or peanuts for crunch.
