How to Make Stir-Fried Tomato and Cauliflower

Stir-fried tomato and cauliflower is a vibrant, nutritious dish loved for its balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

1 medium cauliflower (cut into florets), 2 ripe tomatoes (chopped), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste, 2 tbsp cooking oil, and optional chopped green onions for garnish.

Steps:

1. Prep the veggies: Soak cauliflower florets in salted water for 10 minutes to remove impurities, then rinse and drain. Blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside. Chop tomatoes into small pieces.

2. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Cook tomatoes: Add tomatoes to the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release juices, about 3-4 minutes. Mash some tomatoes slightly to create a thicker sauce.

4. Combine and season: Add blanched cauliflower to the wok. Pour in soy sauce and sugar, stirring well to coat the florets. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust salt if needed.

5. Serve: Garnish with green onions and transfer to a plate. Enjoy hot with steamed rice!
