Making your cauliflower rice from scratch? See post for methods and instructions and cauli rice it up! To save time I used fresh bagged cauliflower rice from the produce section.
Peel and finely dice onions and carrots. Cut bell pepper into strips then chop into small pieces. Mince garlic and set aside.
Heat a large lipped pan or skillet to medium-high heat with 1 TBSP oil.
Sauté onion, carrots, bell pepper, and peas until the onions are translucent and the carrots/pepper/peas are tender and cooked through.
Next add garlic and cauliflower rice. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the cauliflower is heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Give it a taste and 1. ensure your veggies are tender enough and 2. decide how much of your soy sauce you want to add. (you can always add more later) Mix it all together and stir in your green onion and add any additional salt/pepper/sauce to taste.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired and drizzle with spicy Sriracha chili sauce before serving. Cilantro also makes a tasty topper! You can make this dish as mild or as spicy as you'd like! For a less spicy alternative, feel free to use sweet chili sauce on top of your cauli rice - it's delicious!
