Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 500g) Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon (fresh, minced) Ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks (sliced, for garnish) Scallions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into small, bite-sized florets.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the cauliflower florets and stir-fry for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
Add the water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the cauliflower steam for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the cauliflower evenly.
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened and the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Transfer the stir-fried cauliflower to a serving dish and garnish with sliced scallions.
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
