Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 cup Optional vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini)
Instructions
1. Wash the cauliflower and break it into small florets.
2. Dice the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
3. If using optional vegetables, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

9. Serve immediately as a side dish or on its own for a low-carb meal.
