Tips for a Stellar Cauliflower Rice Stir-Fry:
- Make sure to cut the cauliflower florets into small pieces using a sharp knife. This ensures even cooking of the cauliflower rice.
- Avoid overcooking the cauliflower rice. It should be tender-crisp, offering a pleasant texture rather than becoming mushy.
- Customise your stir-fry by adding your favourite vegetables. Broccoli, carrots, peas, and sugar snap peas. They work wonderfully in this dish.
- Experiment with various protein options such as chicken, beef, or seafood to suit your taste and dietary preferences.
- While the classic combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil provides a great flavour profile, don’t hesitate to experiment with different sauces like teriyaki, sweet and sour, or hoisin sauce.
