Main Ingredients:
1 medium head cauliflower (cut into florets)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green onions (sliced)
Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Heat oil and stir-fry cauliflower: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower florets and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.
Add aromatics and bell pepper: Add sliced onion, garlic, and ginger; cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in red bell pepper and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Finish and garnish: Cook for an additional 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Adjust the heat level by adding more or less chili garlic sauce.
For added protein, toss in cooked tofu or chicken.
