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 pepper (chopped)
  • 8 oz white mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (or adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 16 oz cauliflower rice (I used a store bought pack, around 3.5 to 4 cups riced cauliflower)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Method

  1. Heat sesame oil in a wok on medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and saute for a minute until it starts changing color.
  2. Add green onion whites, bell pepper and sliced mushrooms. Cook for around 3 minutes on high heat, mushrooms will release water and turn golden brown.
  3. Then add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha and mix.
  4. Now lower the heat and add in the cauliflower rice and mix. Also add the salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  5. Once all is combined, increase the heat to medium-high again. Cook for 5 to 6 to minutes (keep stirring in between) until the raw taste and smell of cauliflower rice goes away and it's cooked. It should not become mushy/soggy so keep the heat high.
  6. Garnish with spring onion (the green part) and serve!
