Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Zucchini
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process. You may need to do this in batches.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. Peel the carrot and dice it into small cubes. Chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into similar-sized small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the frozen peas and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, along with the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, chop the green onions finely.
Once the rice mixture is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a light main course.
