Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Shiitake mushrooms - 150 grams, sliced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Vegetable broth - 150 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and browned.
4. Stir in the cauliflower rice, and pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
5. Cover the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to absorb the flavors, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove the lid, and stir in the sesame oil and chopped green onions. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes uncovered, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.
8. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
