  • 1 whole cauliflower

Instructions

  • Using a grater or food processor, grate the cauliflower until it resembles the consistency of rice.
  • Chop up the rest of the vegetables into stir fry sized chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a large frypan or wok.

You can speed things up by pre steaming some of the veggies that take longer to stir fry, like carrots or broccoli.
I also like to add some mixed herbs to my rice.
