I love me some homemade stir-fry. It helps us feel like we're not missing out. (Given we just had our first "real" Chinese take out a few weeks ago in eons, I can confirm, we're not really missing out by doing it our way. Except for crab rangoon. God, I love that stuff. Huh? What?)
While perusing with the masses at Trader Joe's a few weeks ago, I spied this in the freezer section:
You guys have seen me post some stir fry meals where I rice my own cauliflower but I was feeling lazy and thought we could give it a try to see how it stacked up.
Here's a peek at the nutritional info and ingredients:
Pretty decent though I wish I'd paid more attention to the sodium, that's about 450mg of sodium if you split the bag compared to the 100mg we get if I DIY it and for twice the amount of cauliflower. But still, not bad in the scheme of things.
Just basically dump it in a skillet frozen...
...and let it come to temperature.
I paired it with a nice mango glazed tuna filet. So what did we think?
The flavor was really good but I know some of that is from the salt. It was not nearly as filling as when I do it but if I'm not feeling like going through the whole shebang for healthy stir-fry, this could fit the bill sometimes. If you're looking for a good, quick stir fry option then you should give it a try if you have a TJ's near you. As a reminder, this IS TJ's which means the likelihood of it sticking around long term is a crap shoot at best. Stock up but don't get attached.
What are your favorite stir-fry ingredients?

I am surprised how much I like the riced cauliflower given how much I cannot stand cauliflower on its own. But in a good stir fry I can barely tell that it isn't regular rice.
ReplyDeleteLooks so good! Gonna have to give cauliflower rice a try!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like something I'll have to try. Hopefully they will still have it next time I visit my folks and have a chance to get to Trader Joe's. They boy doesn't like peas or peppers though so I'll be trying it on my own.
ReplyDeleteFunny that I am reading this considering I made cauliflower fried rice for the first time yesterday lol but I love stir fry's. Usually I am lazy and go with the frozen stir fry mixes and a protein of choice.
