This cauliflower rice stir fry is great for meal prep. Make the recipe and then let it cool completely to room temperature before storing in the fridge in a sealable container (click here for containers I recommend). It will keep well in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and can either be reheated on the stovetop or it’s even delicious cold and eaten like a salad!
Can you use frozen cauliflower rice in this recipe?
I often buy riced cauliflower from the store for convenience, and you can absolutely use that in this recipe. You just need to thaw it first, which really doesn’t take long. Alternatively, you can make your own cauliflower rice. When I make my own I often freeze what I don’t need to use in recipes like this.
What vegetables can you use in chicken stir fry?
I used mushrooms and zucchini in this recipe, but you can easily substitute these for whatever you have in your fridge. This is such a great recipe to make the most of produce you need to use up! Try adding in bell peppers, onions, broccoli or carrots, feel free to make it your own!
Is this stir fry spicy?
I used a little chili powder in this dish. It’s not overly hot, but gives a pleasing buzz! If you are particularly sensitive to heat then you can omit this. Likewise, if you like things on the spicy side, feel free to add a little more!
