Vegan Hoisin-Glazed Cauliflower Bowls
with Loaded Veggie Rice & Sesame Seeds
This vegan dinner idea is one balanced flavor bomb of a meal, thanks to some of our favorite umami-rich condiments. Crisp-roasted cauliflower is coated in a velvety blend of hoisin, katsu sauce, and sweet Thai chili sauce—a combination that’s hard to beat! Fragrant fried rice, bejeweled with tender-crisp carrots and sweet peas, is the perfect bed for nestling the savory-sweet glazed cauliflower. Finish with a sprinkle of scallion greens and nutty sesame seeds for crunchy contrast.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim cauliflower into bite-size pieces. • Toss cauliflower on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim, peel, and quarter carrots lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into quarter-moons.
• Heat a drizzle of oil and half the sesame oil in a small pot (use all the sesame oil and a medium pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes. • Add rice, stock concentrate, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until Step 6.
• While rice cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and a pinch of salt; stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and almost cooked through, 5-7 minutes. • Uncover and add peas and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cook until carrots and peas are tender and water has completely evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
• When cauliflower is almost done roasting, combine katsu sauce, hoisin, chili sauce, 1 tsp water (2 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of chili flakes in a medium microwave-safe bowl. • Microwave until warmed, 20-30 seconds. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. • Transfer roasted cauliflower to bowl with sauce; toss to combine.
• To pot with rice, add carrots and peas and half the scallion greens. Stir to combine; taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. • Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with glazed cauliflower. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remaining scallion greens. Serve.
