Ingredients:

For the Cauliflower Rice:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Stir-Fry:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, snap peas), sliced or chopped
• 1 cup protein of your choice (tofu, chicken, shrimp, or beef), cubed or sliced
• 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (adjust to taste)
• 1-2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
• Red pepper flakes or hot sauce (optional, for some heat)
• Chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

• Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice or couscous in texture.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for a couple of minutes until they soften.
• Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy. Keep stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. Remove the cauliflower rice from the skillet and set it aside.

2. Prepare the Stir-Fry:

• In the same skillet or wok, add 2 more tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
• Add your choice of protein (tofu, chicken, shrimp, or beef) and cook until it’s browned and cooked through. If using tofu, make sure it’s well-browned on all sides.
• Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to become tender but still crisp.

3. Combine and Season:

• Return the cauliflower rice to the skillet with the cooked protein and vegetables.
• Drizzle with soy sauce or tamari, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil (if using), and grated ginger (if using). Toss everything together to coat it evenly.
• If you like some heat, you can add red pepper flakes or hot sauce at this point.

4. Serve:

• Transfer the cauliflower rice stir-fry to serving plates.
• Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
