Cauliflower and pork stir-fry

Wed 05 November 2014

A tasty way to cook cauliflowers. Serves 2 (4 is conceivable, but may be a stretch).

Ingredients

  • Pork & marinade
    • 300g pork belly (sliced)
    • 2 tsp shaoxing wine or dry sherry
    • 0.5 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp corn starch
  • Stir-fry

    • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
    • 6 cloves garlic (coarsely chopped)
    • 3 red dried chilies (or more; halved)
    • 6 slices ginger (or more)
    • 2 scallions (coarsely chopped)
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 2 tbsp shaoxing wine or dry sherry
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • Olive oil
    • Salt and ground black pepper
    • Rice to serve
  • Tools

    • Oven
    • Baking sheet, baking paper
    • Wok (with cover)

Method

1.

  • Combine pork with ingredients for marinade, set aside
  • Preheat oven to 250°C
  • Spread cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper
  • Bake cauliflowers until golden (about 20 min). Stir once when halfway through.

2.

  • After stirring the cauliflowers in the oven, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in the wok, over medium heat. Add garlic, chilies and ginger, and cook for about 2 min (make sure they don't burn).
  • Turn up the heat to high, add pork, cook until browned.
  • Stir in the cauliflowers (while still keeping the heat on high), and cook for a minute.
