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 cooking oil, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste, and a pinch of black pepper. 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.

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

3. Cook the cauliflower: Add cauliflower florets and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Cover briefly to soften slightly (avoid overcooking to retain crunch).

4. Add tomatoes: T in chopped tomatoes, cooking until they break down and release juices (2–3 minutes). Add sugar to balance acidity.

5. Season and finish: Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 1 more minute until flavors meld. Garnish with green onions if desired.

Serve hot with rice or noodles. This dish is quick, healthy, and adaptable—add chili flakes for spice or a splash of soy sauce for umami!
