Main Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
- 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
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 16 oz cauliflower rice (about 3.5 to 4 cups)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat sesame oil in a wok on medium-high heat until hot.
- Sauté garlic: Add chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until it starts changing color, releasing its aroma.
- Cook vegetables: Add white parts of the green onion, chopped red pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for around 3 minutes on high heat until mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Add sauces: Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha, mixing well to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Add cauliflower rice: Lower the heat, add cauliflower rice along with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine.
- Finish cooking: Increase the heat back to medium-high and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sogginess, until the cauliflower rice loses its raw taste and is cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh or store-bought cauliflower rice to save prep time.
- Adjust sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
- Keep the heat high when cooking cauliflower rice to avoid sogginess.
- For more protein, add cooked tofu or scrambled eggs as preferred.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a reduced salt version.
