Using cauliflower rice is a quick and easy way to fit more vegetables into your diet without comprising on taste. The texture is not dissimilar to cous cous so can also take the place of the grain in other dishes. One head of cauliflower makes quite a large quantity of rice but it can be portioned up and kept in the fridge or frozen.

Method
Vegetable Stir Fry with Cauli Rice
- If you are making your own cauliflower rice, cut the cauliflower florets from the stem and place into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles cous cous. Alternatively, grate the florets using a box grater to create the same texture.
- Combine together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for use later.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chilli, red onion and coriander stems and cook for one minute.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chilli, red onion and coriander stems and cook for one minute.
- Add the rest of the vegetables and continue to fry over a medium heat until the broccoli is just cooked.
- In a separate non stick frying pan, sauté the cauliflower over a medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the sauce and continue to stir to stop the cauliflower from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Tip the vegetables into the cauliflower rice and stir well to combine everything.
- To serve: top with the spring onions, coriander and sesame seeds.
