Wegmans Recipe: Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry

Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry

This isn't an official recipe but we came up with this to showcase our new product at the store: cauliflower rice. It is simply finely chopped cauliflower that, when cooked, looks, feels, and tastes like rice. I had many customers remark that they were very surprised that it wasn't really rice! When you add the sauce, the rice turns a light brown color, making it look exactly like brown rice. The stir fry sauce I used is Wegmans' own house brand, and it has 3g of sugar per Tbsp. if you can find one with less sugar, feel free to use that. You can also make your own sauce if you're feeling adventurous.

Ingredients:

1/2 head of cauliflower

1/2 c. snow peas

1/4 c. shredded carrots

1/4 c. baby corn, chopped into 3rds or 4ths (optional)

1/2 c. bell pepper, any color, diced

1/2 c. broccoli florets, small

1/4 c. sliced shiitake mushrooms

1/3 c. stir fry sauce, low sugar (I used Wegmans Organic Stir Fry Sauce)

2 oz. Wegmans Organic Garlic and Parsley Finishing Butter, or other herbed butter

Wash and rough chop the cauliflower. Processes in food processor until the pieces are roughly the size of rice grains. In a wok or frying pan, melt the butter. Add in rice and cook until rice has absorbed the butter mostly. Add a pinch of salt and pepper blend if you wish. Push the rice to the outsides of the pan. Place the veggies in the center, and pour the sauce over the veggies. Stir the veggies up in the sauce until coated, then mix the rice and veggies together and stir until veggies are slightly soft (or until desired doneness). If you wish to cook the veggies a little more, turn down the heat a bit to keep things from burning. You can also cover the pan and let it steam a bit if you want.
