Diabetes-Friendly Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry

1Preparing the Cauliflower Rice Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and core. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice-like grains.

2Preparing the Stir Fry Sauce In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce (2 tablespoons), rice vinegar (1 tablespoon), sesame oil (1 tablespoon), honey or sugar substitute (1 teaspoon), minced garlic (½ teaspoon), and minced ginger (½ teaspoon). Set aside.

3Stir Frying the Vegetables Heat olive oil (1 tablespoon) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper (½ cup), green bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and onion. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

4Adding Garlic (2 cloves) and Green Onions (2) Add the minced garlic (½ teaspoon) and sliced green onions (2) to the skillet. Stir fry for an additional 1 minute.
