Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until grain-like, yielding about 5 cups of riced cauliflower.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers gently.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white portions of the sliced green onions. Sauté for about one minute until aromatic.
- Cook the Veggies: Toss in the diced carrot and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
- Add Cauliflower Rice: Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender.
- Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Mix in the peas, edamame, and diced pineapple. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
- Flavor it Up: Drizzle tamari, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha over the mixture. Toss to coat evenly; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from heat and fold in the green portions of the green onions and half of the chopped cilantro.
- Serve: Transfer to serving bowls, topping with remaining cilantro, chopped nuts, and lime wedges.
