Today’s Unique Vegetarian Recipe: Spicy Pineapple Cauliflower Stir-Fry

Welcome to my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a fun and flavor-packed recipe that combines two unlikely ingredients into a delicious and satisfying stir-fry. I was feeling adventurous and wanted to create a dish that would surprise my taste buds, and this spicy pineapple cauliflower stir-fry did not disappoint. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 600g)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (about 200g)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • wok
  • wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Start by heating oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Next, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and cauliflower florets to the wok. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. In another bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Pour both mixtures into the wok with the vegetables. Add the fresh pineapple chunks and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the spicy pineapple cauliflower stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped spring onions, if desired.

Unique Tip:

To add extra heat and flavor to this dish, try sprinkling some crushed red pepper flakes or drizzling chili oil on top before serving. The spicy kick will elevate the dish and leave your taste buds tingling!
