Ingredients:

For the Stir-Fry:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower (or about 4 cups cauliflower rice)
• 1 tablespoon cold-pressed olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 carrot, finely chopped or shredded
• 1 cup sugar snap peas or green beans, chopped
• ½ small red onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (Daniel Fast-friendly soy sauce alternative)
• ½ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Add-Ins:

• Chopped green onions
• A handful of chopped spinach or kale
• A sprinkle of sesame seeds (unsweetened and unroasted)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice

1. If using a whole cauliflower head, cut into florets and pulse in a food processor until the texture resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

1. In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 3: Add the Colorful Veggies

1. Toss in the diced bell pepper, carrots, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for about 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still vibrant and crisp.

Step 4: Stir in the Cauliflower Rice

1. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the other vegetables. Drizzle in the coconut aminos and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5: Cook Until Tender

1. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5–7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through. Adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

1. Remove from heat. Garnish with optional chopped green onions, a handful of greens, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
2. Serve warm and enjoy a light, refreshing meal that’s full of natural goodness.

Optional Variations:

• Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a gentle heat.
