Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Prepare the cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower florets and pat them dry.
2.
Sauté aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over
medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about
30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir-fry cauliflower:
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 8-10
minutes, until they are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
4.
Add sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce
(if using), and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and stir
well to coat.
5. Season and serve: Season with salt
and pepper to taste. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until
the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Garnish: Transfer the cauliflower stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
7. Serve: Serve hot as a side dish or as a light meal.

- Add protein: Add tofu, chicken, shrimp, or beef to make it a heartier meal.
- Add vegetables: Include other vegetables like broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha for heat.
- Sweeten it: Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
