Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (approximately 600g) Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower: remove the leaves, cut the florets into bite-sized pieces, and rinse well. Set aside.
2. Mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
4. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Increase the heat to high and add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower starts to become tender but still has a slight crunch.
6. Pour in the soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), sesame oil, and sprinkle the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the cauliflower.
7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower absorbs the flavors and is cooked to your desired texture.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds, if using.
9. Serve immediately as a main dish or a side. Enjoy your healthy, keto-friendly stir-fry!
