Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash the cauliflower thoroughly under cold water. Then, chop it into bite-sized florets, removing any tough stems. I also like to pat the florets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture before cooking. It helps to achieve a nice crispy texture in the stir fry.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a large skillet or large wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped cauliflower and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until it softens. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the cauliflower from the heat and transfer it to the plate for later use.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the Sichuan peppercorns, dried red chili peppers, minced garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn them. Add the cauliflower florets back to the skillet and continue stir-frying for 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the Shaoxing cooking wine, light soy sauce, coconut sugar, and water. Stir continuously until the sauce coats the cauliflower evenly.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions if using. Serve hot. Enjoy!
