Ingredients
Chile-Garlic Sauce:
- ½ cup chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tobanjan/doubanjiang (chile bean sauce/paste)
- 1 ½ teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons honey
- ½ teaspoons Sriracha
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon peeled and minced ginger
Cauliflower:
- 1 head cauliflower cut into bite-size florets
- 2 tablespoons panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil
- 8 ounces (225 grams) ground pork
- 1 scallion thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Make the chile-garlic sauce: stir the stock, soy sauce, vinegar, chile bean sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sriracha, and salt together in a small bowl. Then, sprinkle the cornstarch over 1 tablespoon water in a small cup or ramekin and stir to dissolve it.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook just until they are browned, about 30 seconds. Stir in the stock mixture and bring to a simmer.
- Mix the cornstarch mixture to recombine, and stir it into the sauce. Cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Remove it from the heat. (The chile sauce can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated for up to 5 days.)
- Prepare the cauliflower: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook it until it is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain it in a colander and rinse it under cold running water. Let it cool completely, then pat it dry with paper towels. (The cauliflower can be blanched and then refrigerated in a covered container for up to 2 days.)
- Finish the stir-fry: Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the panko to a plate or small bowl.
- Return the wok to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, stirring often and breaking up the meat with the side of a wooden spoon, until the pork is browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chile sauce. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Top it with the toasted panko and scallion (if desired). Serve hot with rice for soaking up the delicious sauce.
Notes
- If you want to make this stir-fried cauliflower gluten-free, use gluten-free panko, gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free oyster sauce and replace the tobanjan (chile bean paste) with a gluten-free alternative, such as more sriracha or sambal oelek (Indonesian chile paste).
