Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower (florets)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the cauliflower florets and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower starts to become tender but still slightly crisp.
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the cauliflower and toss to combine. Continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce and coat the cauliflower.
Sprinkle in the sliced green onions, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (keeping the low-sodium focus in mind).
Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
