Stir-Fried Cauliflower | Bong Cai Xao
Report
This stir-fried cauliflower, or bong cai xao, is proof that a handful of ingredients—cauliflower, fish sauce, pepper, garlic, and cilantro—and a few minutes of your time can make for a stellar side dish.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
- 1 smallish cauliflower broken into florets (4 to 5 cups florets, head
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons water cold
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 scallions white and green parts, cut into 1-inch (25-mm) lengths
- 2 tablespoons cilantro coarsely chopped, or mint leaves
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. To test if the pan is ready, add a pinch of garlic; if it sizzles at once, the oil is ready.
- Add the remaining garlic to the pan and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cauliflower and stir-fry for 1 minute, being certain to expose all sides of the bumpy florets to the hot skillet. Carefully and quickly add the fish sauce, water, sugar, pepper, and scallions and cook, tossing often, until the cauliflower is tender but still pleasantly crunchy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro or mint, toss one last time, and remove from the heat.
- Arrange the cauliflower on a platter or shallow serving bowl and serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.
