Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and 1 cup halved snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms release their moisture and snap peas are tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 4 cups riced cauliflower and 3 sliced green onions. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently to evenly heat the cauliflower and lightly brown it.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos and 1 tbsp sesame oil, stirring to coat all ingredients. Season with 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using.
  5. Step 5: Continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired before serving warm.
