Love me some peanut butter! This stir fry has a Thai flavour to it, but I'm sure it is not quite there, since it was just a combination of ingredients I had on hand to make a nice, thick sauce, so I'm just going to call it a peanut butter sauce. I used a combination of 'cauliflower rice' and instant brown rice, but you can do either by itself.
Serves 6

1/2 head of cauliflower, ground into rice sized pieces
120g instant brown rice, cooked

1/3 cup natural peanut butter
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp white vinegar
3 tbsp honey

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
1/4 tsp chili flakes
Black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup blanched, unsalted peanuts, ground into small chunks, for sprinkling on top

Add cauliflower to food processor and grind into rice sized pieces. Set aside.
