Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp oil optional
  • 1/4 cup onion or shallots , chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 cup peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/2 head of medium cauliflower , 2.5 to 3 cups shredded
  • 1/4 head of broccoli , about 1 cup shredded, or use more cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 to 2 tsp sambal oelek or asian chile sauce
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • a generous dash of black pepper
  • scallions for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook onion and garlic in oil (or 1 tbsp broth) over medium heat until golden. Add ginger, bell pepper, veggies, peas and carrots and a dash of salt. Mix, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the shredded cauliflower or cauliflower+ broccoli, sauces, salt and pepper and mix well. (I use a food processor with S blade for making shredded cauliflower rice. Chop and pulse until evenly shredded. Use similar size florets for best result). 
  3. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Fluff really well, cover and let sit to steam for another 2 minutes. You want the cauliflower to be cooked to a bit more than al dente, but still have just a slight bite.
  4. Taste and adjust salt, flavor. Fluff again. Serve hot as is or with some stir fry or baked tofu. Add some asian chile sauce or some soy sauce for garnish when serving as is. I serve it with some stir fry like the Baked Tofu and Eggplant with Soy Lime Sauce.

Notes

  • To add egg sub: Crumble up 1/4 cup tofu and add to the pan at step 1 after the onions have cooked. Cook until heated through, add a good pinch of turmeric and Indian black salt(kala namak) and mix. Continue with adding the ginger and veggies.

  • Add some toasted nuts with the cauliflower for variation. 
  • Use coconut aminos to make soy-free.
