Trader Joe’s Stir Fried Garlicky Cabbage

Hands down my favorite frozen item at Trader Joe’s, humble cabbage is transformed into the most delicious dish. So simple, yet so hard to replicate! I especially love to make chili onion cabbage noodles with it!

Trader Joe’s Riced Cauliflower

Impressively, Trader Joe’s currently offers three flavors of riced cauliflower:

• Plain organic riced cauliflower, a simple ingredient to add to dishes or in place of white rice
• Spicy Mexican-style Riced Cauliflower, with tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapeño…this one is really quite spicy, so I like to mix in some plain tofu or other veggies like kale or broccoli to help temper the heat.
• Trader Joe’s Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry is a simple, Asian-flavored option with veggies, ginger, and sesame oil. A tasty side to countless Asian main dishes.

Trader Joe’s Kung Pao Tempura Cauliflower

For a quick fix, this frozen tempura cauliflower hits the spot! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce is a bit too sweet IMO so consider serving it on the side.

Gochujang Vegetable Stir Fry with Zucchini Spirals

This frozen vegetable item makes a great meal base. The Korean-flavored stir fry is on the mild side, so I like to add some more Gochugang paste and some coconut aminos. Throw in some tofu for a complete meal…I also like to add in rice or noodles.

Asian Style Vegetables with Stir Fry Sauce

Another easy base to a quick meal, this stir fry kit just needs a protein and rice and DONE! I like to add some sriracha to this one.
