Cauliflower Rice with stir fry veggies/tofu bowl

This “easy-peasy” sub-15 minutes meal cuts no corners in flavors and freshness of ingredients. One thing is certain- you won’t  miss the carbs in this flavor burst medley!
Ingredients
Cauliflower rice-2 cups
Green beans (fresh or frozen)- 1/2 cup
Brussels sprouts (fresh/frozen) chopped- 2/3 cup
Shredded 🥕 carrots- 1/2 cup
Broccoli 🥦 florets 2/3 cup
Mushrooms 🍄 chopped (optional)- 1/2 cup
Green onions/chives chopped- 2
Minced garlic- 1 tbsp
Extra firm tofu pieces- 1 cup
Fried egg for topping (optional)
2 tbsp canola oil
Soy sauce- 1 tbsp
Chili garlic sauce- to taste
Good vinegar (white balsamic or rice wine)-2 tsp
Everything but Bagel seasoning 🧂 (Trader Joes)- a dash to sprinkle (or add roasted sesame seeds instead)
Cilantro/parsley to garnish
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Method 
In a non stick pan, heat oil and add chili garlic sauce. Shallow fry the tofu pieces and set aside. In the same pan, add some more oil if needed and sauté the 🧄 garlic and add the veggies one after the other with salt and black pepper. Cook on medium to high heat. Add cauliflower rice, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar and stir well. The veggies will preserve their freshness and color as they are only cooked for a total of 4-5 minutes. Add the tofu pieces, adjust salt, sprinkle the sesame seeds or “Everything but bagel” seasoning and garnish with parsley or cilantro. Top with fried egg and enjoy this flavorful protein bowl.
