Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower (or 4 cups cauliflower rice)

1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors, diced)

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup carrots, julienned

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons sesame seeds

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower: If using a whole head, remove the leaves and stem, and cut it into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Alternatively, use pre-made cauliflower rice.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

      Add the Veggies: Toss in the diced bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

        Incorporate Cauliflower Rice: Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

          Flavor It Up: Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili flakes (if using). Stir everything together to coat all the ingredients evenly with the sauce.

            Final Touches: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the green onions and remove from heat.

              Serve: Plate the stir-fry and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your vibrant and nutritious meal!
