Ingredients

  • 1 (12-ounce bag) frozen peas and carrots mix

  • 1 head cauliflower, florets and stems, grated using large holes of a box grater
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Waste Less Food

Since the cauliflower in this recipe is grated, stretch your food dollar by grating the stems too.
