Cauliflower Stir Fry Ingredients

Most stir fry recipes are served with either steamed white rice or a serving of fried rice.

However, in an effort to keep this recipe as low-carb/Keto-friendly, we are using cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.

To make this recipe in less than 15 minutes, we use both a stir fry kit and prepackaged cauliflower rice.

Although you can make Homemade Cauliflower Rice, we used pre-packaged cauliflower bits for this stir fry recipe.

Either way is fine. It just depends on how much time you have.

We also chose to use a bag of stir fry vegetables as well. Again, if you have time to chop up all your veggies ahead of time, go for it!

For us, sometimes it is more economical to use a stir-fry kit so that the other vegetables don’t go bad before we use them.

leftover chicken
If you have leftover chicken or steak, you can add it to your stir fry. However, this is totally optional.

However, we do like to add in some other vegetables that aren’t included in the stir fry kit.

We add in a little onion and bell peppers as well. However, this is totally based on our preference.

Feel free to add in some sliced mushroom, bamboo shoots, sprouts or whatever you prefer!

First start by sautéing the vegetables in a large skillet or wok.

And as for the seasoning, well, you guessed it! We used the ginger sauce packet that came along with the stir fry kit.

However, you could add in soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos. Spice it up with a little fresh ginger and garlic, and you have homemade Cauliflower Stir Fry seasoning.

Cooking Method

Now that you have all the ingredients, it is time to make your Cauliflower Stir Fry!

First, heat up a large skillet or wok. Once the pan gets nice and hot, add the extra virgin olive oil.

garlic press with veggies
To add additional flavor, we added 2 cloves of garlic to the stir fry mixture.

Next, add the bag of stir fry vegetables along with any other vegetables that you are using.

If you are adding cooked meat to your Cauliflower Stir Fry, do so after the vegetables have had a couple of minutes to cook. This is also when we use our garlic press to add fresh garlic to the Cauliflower Stir Fry recipe.

Continue cooking for another 5 minutes and then add in your cauliflower rice.

cauliflower bits
Add in the cauliflower bits once the stir fry ingredients begin to soften.

Once the cauliflower becomes tender, stir in your stir fry sauce.

And that is all there is to making a healthy meal! So next time that you don’t think you have time to eat healthy, think again!
