Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 8 mushrooms quartered
  • 1 cup snow peas halved
  • 1 cup broccoli chopped
  • 2 cups bok choy chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini sliced
  • ½ cup green peas
  • ¼ cup cashew nuts roasted and salted
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 - 2 green onions finely sliced

The Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp freshginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tbsp roasted sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp crunchy chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  • In a bowl whisk together all of the sauce ingredients. If you find it too thick, add a drizzle of water. Set aside.
  • In a skillet over MED-HIGH heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the mushrooms, snow peas, broccoli, bok choy, and zucchini and sauté for 5 minutes. Once the veg is mostly cooked, add in the peas and sauté for another 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the sauce. Stir.
  • Serve the stir fry on top of the cauliflower rice. Garnish with the cashew nuts, cilantro, and green onions.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients. Despite the wide assortment of flavors on show here, a rotten veggie, for instance, will stick out and ruin the dish.
  • Pulse the cauliflower rice in the food processor. Don't hold down the button lest you run the risk of turning your rice into mush.
  • Sauté the cauliflower rice in a pan for a few minutes before serving; this will enhance the texture by drying it out and giving it a slight crispness.
