Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry

Cauliflower rice has been a popular ingredient for healthy cooking these days. I have to say I was not a huge fan of it in the beginning, but now learning how to cook it and add flavor, I always keep some in my freezer for easy meals. This easy cauliflower rice stir fry is what I meal prepped all week for lunches and it is a nourishing meal filled with lots of flavor. It is super easy to prepare for dinner or lunch for the week ahead. The sauce is just three ingredients to give the dish a delicious finish.

Ingredients

This cauliflower rice stir fry starts with the base of frozen cauliflower. Hanovers has a delicious cauliflower stir fry as well as trader joes, to keep the dish simple. I know there are many other brands to try as well, but those two I have tested and love. The veggies I roasted in this dish are snap peas, brussel sprouts, edamame, and broccoli. All classic veggies in a traditional stir fry recipe. Any color peppers would also be a delicious addition. Once the veggies are roasted, then all you have to do is saute up the cauliflower rice. I like to saute until the rice is nice and brown and toasted. Thats when I think the rice gets all the flavor. For the meat, I used a plant based korean BBQ by urban accents culinary. It is made with great ingredients and took about 5 minutes to throw together. You could also add in chicken, tofu, tempeh, or ground turkey for additional protein if you don’t want to use the meat substitute. I didn’t add any cashews, or water chestnuts (which I had and forgot) but both would be delicious in this dish.

Honey Garlic Sauce

The honey garlic sauce could not be any easier. I took equal part coconut aminos or soy sauce and honey and stirred that together. Then I added some prepped mashed roasted garlic and that was it. It was a perfectly balanced sweet salty dressing to compliment the cauliflower rice stir fry.

I made a big enough serving of this cauliflower rice to last for the week at work. It has so many different textures, and flavors to make a satisfying meal. I love being able to get in lots of vegetables in my meals, and this made it so easy. If you are craving a nourshing Asian inspired meal then give this a try. Also, another stir fry option try out is my stir fry with rice noodles and a peanut sauce for another delicious asian meal.

Honey Garlic Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a large roasting pan with parchment paper

  • While the veggies cook, saute the cauliflower rice in a large skillet over medium high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice begins to toast.
  • Add in meat of choice. For the Korean BBQ plant based mix I prepared it according to package instructions and browned it right before the cauliflower rice. Add the meat into the cauliflower rice stir fry
  • Once the veggies are done roasting add everything to a large bowl and stir to combine
  • For the dressing in a small jar add in the honey and coconut aminos and mix until combined. Then add in the mashed garlic and stir
  • Add the dressing when ready to serve. You could top with sesame seeds, green onions, etc
