  • 2 cups broccoli florets - bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup shredded carrots - loosely chopped

Sauce

Notes

  • You can buy pre-packaged cauliflower rice to make this recipe. I would recommend though, if you do, buy it super fresh, as packaged cauliflower rice can go bad quickly. I, however, always prefer to use fresh organic cauliflower, as it's so easy to turn it into 'rice' using my food processor. 
  • If using frozen edamame, there is no need to thaw beforehand. When added to the wok, it won't take long for the heat to warm the edamame.
