How to Make Stir-Fried Bacon with Cauliflower

Stir-fried bacon with cauliflower is a savory, crispy, and nutritious dish loved for its smoky flavor and tender-crisp texture. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

200g bacon (diced), 1 medium cauliflower (cut into florets), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 green onion (chopped), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, ½ tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cooking oil, and a pinch of black pepper.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Blanch cauliflower florets in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain. Pat bacon dry with a paper towel.

2. Cook the bacon: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add bacon and stir-fry until crispy and golden (about 3-4 minutes). Remove excess oil, leaving 1 tbsp in the wok.

3. St-fry aromatics: Toss in minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (30 seconds). Add blanched cauliflower and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

4. Season and combine: Return bacon to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute until everything is well-coated and heated through.

5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onion. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or dried chili flakes. Ensure cauliflower is not overcooked to maintain its crunch. This quick, flavorful dish is perfect for a weeknight meal!
