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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the cauliflower florets and set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Sprinkle in the sliced green onions, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (keeping the low-sodium focus in mind).
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
