  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 bag of cauliflower rice OR 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets

  2. If using fresh cauliflower, process in a food processor or grate with large holes until rice size pieces.
  3. Heat avocado oil in wok and add onion, garlic and ginger for about 2 mins. Add carrots and cook another 2-3 mins. Add a little more oil and the cauliflower and cook stirring frequently, for about 5 mins. Transfer to plate.
