Zombie Fried Rice

I went and saw Resident Evil: Extinction this past weekend. It was exactly what you think it would be. The dialog was some of the worst I've heard this side of Uwe Boll, but you dont' go to a zombie movie based on a video game for the dialog. I was disappointed there wasn't more man vs. zombie action, and the whole "evil corporation" subplot was sub-par, even for a by the numbers story like this. A desolate post-apocalyptic desert world was kind of neat and Milla Jovovich kicked some ass. So yeah, exactly what you'd expect.

I made roasted cauliflower with teriyaki bbq sauce (recipe follows post), teriyaki tofu and cashew fried rice stuffed peppers. It was all very good. The key to stuffed peppers of any kind is to blanch/boil the peppers for about 10 or 15 minutes until they have cooked almost all of the way through, then stuff them and bake them. This helps keep the whole dish from drying out.

Roasted Cauliflower:

This is take on a recipe from Bon Appetit Magazine:

1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
1-2 T vegetable oil

Heat an oven to 400 degrees, toss cauliflower in oil, put on a sheet pan and bake approx. 45 minutes turning cauliflower occasionally.

Teriyaki BBQ Sauce (This is from memory, so it might not be completely accurate):

1/4 of an onion minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 T vegetable oil
1/3 C ketchup
2 T teriyaki sauce
1 T rice wine vinegar
1 tsp. soy sauce

cook onions and garlic over medium heat, when softened add the rest of the ingredients, cook for 5 minutes. Toss with cooked cauliflower and serve.
