This quick and simple dish can be easily modified to your favorite flavor profiles or what you have available in your refrigerator or pantry. Pick seasonal vegetables or swap out the riced cauliflower for a whole grains like quinoa or brown rice.

Stock your pantry with whole grains for an easy base to your recipes with a healthy twist. Keep vegetable broth on hand as a sub for oil when you sauté. Your heart will thank you.

Add additional flavor with sauces like hot sauce, coco aminos (similar to soy sauce without the soy & lower in sodium), or even a twist of lemon or lime.

Double the recipe and freeze a batch for a quick weeknight dinner.
