This flavor-packed stir-fry utilizes our go-to sear and steam technique, yielding perfectly tender-crisp and caramelized cauliflower florets. They’re coated in a salty-sweet mixture of tangy rice vinegar, umami-rich hoisin sauce and fresh ginger, garlic and chili, contributing bright, zesty notes throughout. Serve as a side dish or as a vegetarian main with steamed rice.

Surprise
I had low expectations given the simple ingredient list. Followed instruction to the letter and included all optional toppings. . . wow! Restaurant quality, big flavors, and did not miss the meat at all. A favorite.

Simple and very good and pretty healthy
Very good as is. I did not have scallions, but added shallots and jalapeno just before adding the vinegar and hoisin. Will make again.

Loved it
This came together super quick and is both healthy and tasty. Had everything in my cabinet but would never have thought of this. I added chickpeas so the vegetarians in my house can get a complete protein.

YUM!
Loved this! Everything came together as expected and I loved it with the suggested chopped peanuts and also added chopped scallions. I served it with farrow rather than rice and had enough for breakfast the next morning with an over-medium egg on top. Will definitely make this again!
