Vegetables
- 6-7 large garlic cloves chopped
- 5 stalks green onion chopped, white and green parts separated
- 1 large red pepper chopped
- 8 oz white mushrooms sliced
- 16 oz cauliflower rice (around 3.5 to 4 cups riced cauliflower)
Seasonings and Oils
- 1.5 tablespoon sesame oil (22 ml)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha or 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 chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until it starts to change color and becomes fragrant.
- Add 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 to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Add cauliflower rice: Lower the heat and add cauliflower rice along with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine all ingredients well.
- Cook cauliflower rice: Increase heat back to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes until the cauliflower rice loses its raw taste and smell but does not become mushy or soggy.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with the green parts of the spring onions, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh or store-bought cauliflower rice for convenience.
- Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Maintain high heat when cooking cauliflower rice to avoid sogginess.
- Feel free to swap mushrooms with other vegetables like zucchini or snap peas for variation.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
