Start with 1 pound of extra lean 96/4 ground beef and brown it over medium-high heat with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.

Ensure to get a nice crispy brown crust on one side before breaking it apart and fully cooking it.

Push the beef to one side of the pan and add another 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add about 2 medium chopped zucchini to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and pick up some color.

Add 6 ounces of sliced mushrooms (using a pre-sliced umami blend of shiitake, oyster, and baby bella) to the pan and mix everything together.

Add 2/3 cup of teriyaki sauce to the mixture and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens and caramelization starts to form on the bottom of the pan.

Prepare a lower calorie spin on yum yum sauce by mixing 1/4 cup mayo, 1 tablespoon honey, 1.5 to 2 tablespoons sriracha, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

Combine 1 cup of cooked jasmine rice with 3 cups of cooked cauliflower rice in a bowl.

Serve the stir-fry over the rice mixture and enjoy.
