How To Make Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry
- Sauté the aromatics: Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Cook the cauliflower rice: Add the frozen riced cauliflower medley to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add sauce and scramble eggs: Stir in the soy sauce and cook for 1 minute. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Cook and stir the eggs until they are scrambled, about 3 minutes.
- Combine and serve: Mix the scrambled eggs into the cauliflower rice mixture and cook for 1 more minute until everything is heated through. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
- Can I use fresh cauliflower rice? Yes, fresh riced cauliflower works great. It may cook slightly faster than the frozen variety, so keep an eye on it to ensure it becomes tender but not mushy.
- What other vegetables can I add? This is a great base recipe for adding more vegetables. Diced bell peppers, snap peas, edamame, or mushrooms would all be delicious additions. Add them to the skillet before the cauliflower rice to give them a head start on cooking.
- How can I add more protein? To make this a more substantial meal, you can add diced cooked chicken, shrimp, or cubed firm tofu. Stir them in at the end with the scrambled eggs, just long enough to heat them through.
- Can I make this soy-free? Yes. To make this recipe soy-free, simply substitute the soy sauce with an equal amount of coconut aminos.
What To Serve With This Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry
This is a fantastic one-pan meal on its own, but it’s even better with a few simple garnishes.
- A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds
- Thinly sliced green onions
- A drizzle of sriracha or chili garlic sauce for some heat
- A wedge of fresh lime
How To Store Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry
- Refrigerate: Let the stir fry cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: The best way to reheat is in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to keep it from drying out. You can also reheat it in the microwave.
