Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, slicing the red bell pepper, julienning the carrot, and trimming the snow peas. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to create a stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften slightly.
Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and snow peas. Continue to stir fry for another 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season the stir fry with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve warm as a side dish, or pair with rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
