Main Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoon sesame oil (22 ml)
- 6-7 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 5 stalks green onion, chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
- 16 oz cauliflower rice (around 3.5 to 4 cups), store-bought pack
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil: Heat sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat until hot.
- Sauté garlic: Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about one minute until it begins to change color.
- Cook vegetables: Add green onion whites, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Cook on high heat for about 3 minutes until mushrooms release water and turn golden brown.
- Add sauces: Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Add cauliflower rice and season: Lower the heat, then add the cauliflower rice along with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine everything evenly.
- Cook until tender: Increase heat back to medium-high and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently until cauliflower rice is cooked through and no longer raw, but still firm and not mushy.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onion, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh cauliflower rice or well-drained frozen for best texture.
- Adjust sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
- To keep the dish gluten free, use gluten free soy sauce.
- Do not overcook cauliflower rice to avoid mushy texture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or carrots for variety.
