Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into florets, discarding the tough stems.

Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process to avoid a mushy texture.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrot and bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Mix in the frozen peas, soy sauce, black pepper, turmeric, and salt. Stir everything together and allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
