Kung Pao Cauliflower

Kung Pao Cauliflower is a delicious and healthy vegetarian dish that is popular in Chinese cuisine. It is made by stir-frying cauliflower with a spicy, tangy sauce that is flavored with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and chili peppers. The dish is usually served with steamed rice and is often garnished with roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and scallions. This dish is a great way to incorporate cauliflower into your meals and can easily be customized to fit your dietary preferences.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 cup peanuts
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

  • Step 1
    Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Add the garlic, ginger, and peanuts to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  • Step 4
    Add the cauliflower back to the skillet and pour the soy sauce mixture over it. Stir until the sauce is evenly distributed and the cauliflower is well coated.
  • Step 5
    Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the cauliflower. Serve with sliced green onions, if desired.
