Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry with Tofu

 

Cauliflower-Rice-Stir-Fry.jpg#asset:6379

I admit, I made cauliflower rice a long time ago when it was all over the internet…then I never made it again.

There was just something about chopping cauliflower and ricing it in the food processor that was too much…dirtying too many dishes and adding too many extra steps in my dinner making process.

So I finally decided to buy a package of pre-riced (also called ‘crumbled’) cauliflower and now I feel better about the whole thing. I can handle opening a package and dumping it into a pan.

I made this cauliflower rice stir fry with tofu, and it was easy and delicious…my dinner requirements.

Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry with Tofu

Created by on October 26, 2017

Ingredients

  • 1/2 package extra firm tofu
  • 1/2 package riced-cauliflower
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1/2 yellow or orange pepper
  • 1/2 onion
  • other vegetables of your choice (ie. chopped Brussels sprouts, bean sprouts, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Olive oil or other cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Place a paper towel or tea towel on a plate. Place tofu on top of towel. Place another paper towel or tea towel on top of the tofu, and place a plate on top. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the liquid to release from the tofu.
  2. Press tofu gently to release any excess liquid. Add enough olive oil to cover a pan over medium heat. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Add to pan. Cook on each side until golden brown.
  3. In another pan over medium heat, add sesame oil. Add onion and peppers. Cook for a few minutes, then add cauliflower. Add soy sauce or tamari and rice wine vinegar. Cook until cauliflower is softened and onions and peppers are cooked to your liking.
  4. Add tofu to cauliflower mixture and add red pepper flakes. Add more soy sauce or tamari, if desired.
  5. Enjoy!

 

*This made two servings. You could use 1 of everything (instead of 1/2) and double the liquids and make 4 servings.
