To go along with our chicken, I wanted to make Stir-Fry Veggie Cauli Fried Rice (cauli-rice) and try a package of frozen Cascadian's Organic Cauliflower Rice that I picked up at Costco. You can rice cauliflower yourself in a food processor or blender but this was super convenient and quick. It took about 10-12 minutes to prepare and cook and it was delicious along with our chicken. I included a few photos below and the easy peasy recipe as well. Enjoy!
Stir-Fry Veggie Cauli-Rice
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 sliced green spring onions, divided
1 12-ounce bag of frozen cauliflower rice (I used Cascadian organic)
1 cup lightly steamed broccoli florets
1 small grated organic carrot
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
In a nonstick wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute half of the onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Add cauliflower rice, stir and cover pan. Continue to cook over medium-high heat for approximately 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and continue stir-frying for about 3 minutes. Add steamed broccoli, grated carrots and tomatoes. Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes until heated through. Add butter and season with salt and pepper; stir.
Looks very tasty, a nice side dish that would go with most anything. I haven't seen the frozen cauli rice here in Canada yet and I wonder - does it taste just like home made? I noticed sometimes, buying a veggie frozen it has an off taste...?
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious!! I haven't had breakfast yet and if I had this I think I could eat it now. HA!!
ReplyDeleteUnknown, re the cauliflower rice. I am on the west coast of Canada and we do have pre-shredded cauliflower rice at Costco out here, it just isn't frozen
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte! :-)
ReplyDeleteBarbP -- Wow, I've never seen the fresh cauli-rice at Costco. I'd love that!!! :-)
