How to Make Bacon and Cauliflower Stir-Fry

Bacon and cauliflower stir-fry is a quick, flavorful dish that balances crispy, savory bacon with tender-crisp cauliflower. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to try.

Ingredients:

- 200g bacon, cut into strips

- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional)

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Green onions (for garnish)

Steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

2. Sauté Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the bacon fat. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. If needed, cover the pan briefly to speed up cooking.

3. Add Aromatics: Toss in minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Season: Return the bacon to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Sprinkle black pepper and mix well.

5. Finish and Serve: Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through. Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy hot with rice or as a standalone dish!

This versatile recipe allows variations—add chili flakes for heat or bell peppers for extra color. Quick, easy, and irresistibly savory!
