Ingredients
- 2 lbs cauliflower small-medium head, coarsely chopped
- 2 large bell peppers coarsely chopped
- 2 tsp sesame seed oil
- 3 tbsp green onions chopped
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Sauce:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat large skillet on low-medium heat and coat with sesame seed oil. Add cauliflower and bell peppers, cover with a lid and cook for 8 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, water, maple syrup, cornstarch and pour into skillet. Stir to coat veggies and cook a few more minutes until sauce has thickened.
- Stir again, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with meat of choice, or over pasta, quinoa or brown rice.
Reheat: In microwave or stovetop until heated through.
Freeze: Do not freeze.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in a glass airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or stovetop until heated through.
- Freeze: Do not freeze.
- Chop the cauliflower evenly: Similar bite sized florets will cook evenly and provide the best results.
- For crispier cauliflower on the stovetop: You could stir fry the veg without a lid, though the process will take longer.
- Whisk the sauce often: To avoid lumps.
