¼ cup lower-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 (10-oz.) package frozen riced cauliflower*
Note: If you can’t find frozen riced cauliflower, make your own by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until cauliflower resembles couscous or rice. (If you don’t have a food processor, grate on the large holes of a box grater.)
