Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry

I used to stir-fry cauliflower with vegetarian oyster sauce but this tasty lemony spicy dish served well with rice too. Well, found another alternative for me to whip up a quick & tasty stir-fry dish.


I like some of the quick and easy recipes from Ree The Pioneer Woman.  Here's sharing this simple yet refreshingly light and veggielicious stir-fry cauliflower.

Recipe source : The pioneer woman
With slight changes made : I changed lime to lemon and Sriracha hot chilli sauce to curry powder. Do adjust the taste to your preference.

Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry
Ingredients :
1 whole Head Cauliflower
2 teaspoons Vegetable Oil
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 whole lemon (or Sub A Splash Of Rice Wine Vinegar)
2 whole Green Onions, Sliced
1 Tablespoon Curry powder
Lemon Wedges For Serving

Preparation Instructions :
Break up the cauliflower into large florets, then, using your hands, break into very small florets.

Stirring and browning the cauliflower in pan

Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the oil, then the cauliflower and garlic. Stir the cauliflower around the pan, allowing it to get very brown in some areas.

Cook for 3 minutes, then turn heat to low. Add soy sauce, squeeze in the juice of the lemon, and add most of the sliced green onion, reserving the rest for serving. Stir and allow to cook for 1 minute, then sprinkle the curry powder over the cauliflower. Stir until all incorporated.

Serve hot in a bowl. Sprinkle extra sliced green onions on top, and serve with a lemon wedge.

Enjoy!

  1. good morning! that dash of lemon juice is interesting as our chiese stir fries veggies hardly use lemon. Angmohs usually have lemons here and there, hor?

    1. Hi Lena, yea totally agree. Chinese stir-fry veggies hardly use lime or lemon or even vinegar. The chilli sauce or curry powder blends well with sourish lemon for this dish.

    1. Hi Grace, it's really quick & easy and a tablespoon of curry powder isn't spicy hot and I'm sure kids could take it too.
