This meal is one of my top 5 favorite recipes of all time and for good reason – it’s full of nutritious veggies, super filling, the peanut sauce is creamy and delicious, and the whole dish comes together in just 15 minutes! A majority of the ingredients come straight from the freezer which means I almost always have everything on hand to make it when nothing else sounds good.
One of the best parts is that you can adjust the cauliflower rice base depending on what ingredients you have on hand (sometimes I throw in broccoli or snap peas!) and you can make as much or as little as you want depending on how hungry you are! The veggies are zero points so fill free to double up if you’re extra hungry!
I like to make the base with half cauliflower rice (I use frozen) and half shredded cabbage (a bag of shredded slaw mix works just fine) but if you don’t like stir-fried cabbage feel free to skip it all together and use twice as much cauliflower rice. Seriously, you can customize this dish to please just about anyone’s taste.
For the wontons I use Trader Joe’s Chicken and Cilantro Mini Wontons (you can have 10 wontons for 3 Weight Watchers Smart Points) but if you aren’t near a Trader Joe’s feel free to substitute any variety you’d like. Costco carries a similar product and most grocery stores carry goyza wontons in the freezer sections. Goyza wontons are larger so you’ll want to use fewer and adjust the points accordingly. Lately I’ve been cooking the wontons in my airfyer (I have a Farberware brand) which makes them super crispy but you can cook them any way you’d like – steaming or pan-frying is also delicious! Just follow the cooking instructions on the bag for other methods.
The star of the show is the peanut sauce which is so easy and delicious I promise you’ll be looking for other ways to use it! It’s simply a mixture of Jif Whips, sriracha, ginger paste (you can find this in a tube in the produce section), rice vinegar, and coconut aminos (can sub low sodium soy sauce).
The whole dish comes to just 7 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green plans — wontons (3sp), sesame oil (2sp), peanut sauce (2sp), all other ingredients (0sp). Enjoy!
- 10 Trader Joe's Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons (or brand of wontons/goyza of your choice)
- 1½ c cauliflower rice
- 1½ c shredded cabbage (slaw mix)
- ¾ c frozen peppers and onion mix (or just peppers, if desired)
- 1.5 tsp toasted sesame oil
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp ginger paste, divided
- 1 - 1½ tsp sriracha, divided
- ½ tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos, divided (can sub low sodium soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp Jif Whips whipped peanut butter
- green onion and/or cilantro, to garnish, if desired
- sesame seeds, to garnish, if desired
- Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add in cauliflower rice, peppers, and cabbage. Stir well and let cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the vegetables are cooking go ahead and cook the wontons. Follow the directions on the package to steam, microwave, or pan-fry. If cooking in an airfyer spray the wontons with cooking spray, place in airfyer basket, and cook at 400F for 8-10 minutes, shaking occasionally, until gold and crispy.
- Once the rice mixture has been cooking for 4-5 minutes add in ⅛ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp ginger paste, ½-1 tsp sriracha (to taste, depending on how spicy you'd like it), and 1½ tsp coconut aminos. Stir well and reduce heat to low. Allow rice mixture to cook another 4-5 minutes until everything is soft and cooked through.
- Meanwhile prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl add 1 tbsp Jif Whips peanut butter, 1½ tsp coconut aminos, ½ tsp rice vinegar, ½ tsp sriracha, ¼ tsp ginger paste, and 1 tsp water. Whisk with a fork until sauce is well blended. Add additional water, if needed, until sauce is a smooth, drizzling consistency.
- Plate rice mixture into a large bowl and top with the cooked wontons. Drizzle bowl with the peanut sauce. Garnish with additional sriracha, sesame seeds, and green onion/cilantro if desired. Feel free to add more coconut aminos if you'd like. Enjoy!
