Keto Cauliflower Chicken

Looking for a new keto-friendly lunch or dinner that’s full of flavor? Then this tahini tofu stir fry with cauliflower rice is worth trying out. It’s super-healthy, flavorful, and can be whipped up quickly. 

The star of this dish is tofu, which is protein-dense. This makes this recipe great for vegetarians on the keto diet. To make the dish, you need to cook the tofu and vegetables in one pan and the cauliflower rice in another. Once the tofu mixture is cooked, add the tahini sauce. As soon as both components are ready, serve the stir fry over the cauliflower rice in large bowls with your favorite herbs on top. Simple as that.

Cauliflower rice is super easy to make. All you need to do is blitz raw cauliflower in a blender and then cook it in a pan for a few minutes to give it a lovely crispy texture. The rice is served underneath the tofu and vegetables so it can mop up the sauce.

This dish works great for lunch or dinner, and if you have any left over (unlikely!), you can reheat it the next day. If you’ve been looking to add some vegetarian dishes to your meal plan, then give this dish a go.
