Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Dicing the cauliflower and chopping the other vegetables before you start cooking will save you time and make the stir-fry come together quickly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help ensure that the vegetables don't crowd the pan and cook evenly.
  • Cook the cauliflower in batches if necessary: If you're using a smaller skillet, you may need to cook the cauliflower in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Add the sauce ingredients gradually: This will help you control the spiciness of the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh.
