- In a medium saucepan, add the tamari, monkfruit sweetener, ¼ cup water (reserve the other ¼ cup for later), garlic, ground ginger, sesame oil and apple cider vinegar. Heat on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes or until it gently simmers. Stir in the honey or liquid allulose.
- Make a slurry by whisking together the remaining ¼ cup of water and the arrowroot powder. Pour it into the sauce mixture and heat for 1-3 more minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.
- In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat over medium-high. Add the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Cook until half browned, then add in the white/light green parts of the chopped green onions and the chopped bell pepper. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the meat is browned and the bell pepper is crisp-tender. Spoon out any excess grease and discard. Stir in the remaining dark green parts of the scallions/green onions.
- Pour about ⅓ to ½ cup of the teriyaki sauce into the pan. Cover and keep warm while you prepare the cauliflower rice.
- Heat a separate large skillet over medium-high and add the other 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the frozen riced cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes or until it has mostly defrosted. Add the salt and pat of butter, then continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes or until most of the moisture has cooked out. Add more salt, if needed.
- Serve the ground beef mixture on the cauliflower rice with spoonfuls of extra teriyaki sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and chili crisp, if desired.
Notes
You can substitute the ground meat for your own favorite– ground lamb, ground chicken, ground pork or ground turkey all work great! You can add in other veggies like broccoli florets or asparagus– mix them in when you add in the bell pepper. Leafy greens like cabbage or spinach should be added during the last 1-2 minutes of cook time.
