Stir Fry Chinese Cauliflower Recipe (with Video)

Prepare the ingredients
1. Cut the cauliflower into florets, removing any tough or dry ends.
2. Prepare a large bowl of water. Add salt to the water, then submerge the florets while you prepare the other ingredients. The salt will help remove any dirt or bugs.
3. Slice the shallot or onion, Chinese celery (into 2 inch pieces), and thinly slice the red peppers (if using).
4. Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Blanch the cauliflower
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the cauliflower for 2-3 minutes, or until they’re about 75% cooked. It’s best to test by trying a floret. It should retain a bit of crunch, but be easy to bite into.
2. Drain the cauliflower. Run some cool water over them to prevent them from overcooking.
Stir-fry the cauliflower
1. Heat up a pan on medium-high heat, then add neutral oil. Add the shallots and Chinese celery. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
2. Add the blanched cauliflower, a pinch of salt, and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Give the sauce a mix to dissolve any settled cornstarch, then pour it into the pan. Add the red peppers if using, and give everything a mix.
4. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, try a cauliflower floret to check for your preferred doneness. Enjoy!
