Ingredients

  • 1/2 head Cauliflower 400-500g
  • 1 tablespoon garlic chopped
  • 3 tablespoon onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder more or less to your liking

Instructions

  • Make the garlic sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add garlic and onion. Cook until lightly browned. Add soy sauce and cook for about 5 seconds, letting it bubble in the oil.
  • Cook the cauliflower: Add water, oyster sauce and cauliflower to the pan, stirring to combine. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.Stir occasionally to ensure the sauce coats the cauliflower evenly as it cooks.
  • Reduce the sauce and season: Remove the lid, and stir gently to let the sauce steam off. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the cauliflower until it sizzles and turns lightly brown. Mix in cumin powder and serve.

Notes

  • Cooking time: Cook the cauliflower until it’s as crunchy or tender as you like, adjusting the time as needed.
  • Soy Sauce: Caramelizing the soy sauce in the oil is a key step that brings out the great flavour, so try not to skip it.
  • Cumin Powder: Cumin powder can turn bitter if overcooked, so it’s added at the final step.
  • Spice it up: To add some heat, mix in chilli flakes or chilli oil during step three.
