Tips for Experienced Cooks

For an extra layer of flavor, consider roasting the cauliflower florets in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes before pulsing it in the food processor. This will give the cauliflower rice a deeper flavor and better texture. Additionally, try using different types of mushrooms such as shiitake or oyster for varied flavors and textures. Enhance the sauce by adding a dash of honey or maple syrup to balance the acidity of the vinegar and the saltiness of the soy sauce, creating a more complex flavor profile.

Step 1: Prepare the cauliflower rice

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Set aside.

  • 1 head of cauliflower

Step 2: Sauté the vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced)

Step 3: Make the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, red wine vinegar, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 4: Combine the vegetables and sauce

Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 5: Cook the cauliflower rice

In a separate skillet, heat the cauliflower rice over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes until tender.

Step 6: Serve

Serve the vegetable mixture over the cauliflower rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
