I’m 99% sure that after you make this you’ll prolly start thinkin…”I really don’t need chicken for shxt anymore do I?”
I can’t say 100% because you know how that go everything is a possibility. But…TRUST. ME. This taste as good as it look I promise.
At this point I’ve definitely made a few cauliflower recipes and I’m starting to realize that cauliflower is more versatile than I thought. Originally, I just thought it was a pale, ugly version of broccoli.
It still is.
But I can’t make sticky broccoli can I? Nah.
Now I ain’t finna lie to you and say these are necessarily the “healthiest” recipes. But….at the same time they good AF and they vegan so
Now I made this recipe two times. The first was with stir fry noodles and the second was with quinoa. Boffum is good. So at this point it’s really just about what type of texture you prefer.
Sometimes noodles is hit different and give a particular taste, but at other times you want that fried rice type of feel too. But that’s the beauty of it. You can put this cauliflower over any base that you would prefer. And as always, you can add whichever vegetables and seasonings you like because seasoning is the key to cooking.
