Vegetarian Stir Fried Cauliflower Recipe


Cauliflower (scientific name, Brassica oleracea) belongs to the family Brassicaceae. The most common type is white in colour. There are also purple and orange cauliflowers. Cauliflower contains folate, fibre and vitamin C.
It can be eaten raw or cooked.
This is my recipe for a Stir Fried Cauliflower.

Ingredients
Cauliflower, 1/2, cut into small pieces
Carrot, 1 pc, cut into thin slices
Ginger, 1”x1”x1”, remove skin and cut into slices
Garlic, 5 pcs, removes skin and chopped into small pieces
Corn flour for thickening, 1 table spoon, mixed with a little cold water
Light Soya Sauce, 2 table spoon
Sesame oil, ½ table spoon
Salt to taste
Vegetarian Oyster Sauce (Optional), 1 table spoon
Chinese Shao Shing Chiew (Cooking Wine) (Optional), ½ table spoon
Vegetable oil, 1 table spoon

Put vegetable oil in hot wok and sautéed garlic until fragrant. Add ginger and sesame oil. Add carrot. Stir fry for a while. Put in the cauliflower, light soya sauce, shao shing chiew, vegetarian oyster sauce and salt to taste. Add a little water. Put in the corn flour (mixed in cold water) to make the gravy thick. Best if eaten hot with steamed rice.
