Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

## Essential Ingredients and Tools

- Cauliflower
- Garlic
- Salt

## Calculation

Determine how many servings you want to make before each preparation. One serving is exactly enough for 2 people (as a side dish).

Per serving:

- Cauliflower: approx. 300 g (about 1/2 of a medium-sized cauliflower head)
- Garlic: 2-3 cloves
- Salt: 3 g
- Cooking oil: 15 ml
- Drinking water: 50 ml (for the stir-frying process)

## Instructions

- Wash the cauliflower and break it into small florets using a knife or your hands. Slice the thick stems and set aside.
- Peel the garlic and slice it into thin pieces. Set aside.
- Add 1000 ml of drinking water to a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add the cauliflower florets and boil for **2-3 minutes** until the color lightens and the texture becomes slightly softened.
- Remove the boiled cauliflower, drain well, and set aside.
- Heat a wok or pan, add 15 ml of cooking oil, and heat over high heat.
- Add the garlic slices and stir-fry quickly until fragrant.
- Add the blanched cauliflower florets, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir-fry quickly for about **2 minutes** to ensure even heating.
- Add 3 g of salt and continue to stir-fry evenly.
- Pour 50 ml of drinking water along the side of the pan, cover with a lid, and simmer for **1 minute** to help the cauliflower cook through and absorb the flavors.
- Remove the lid, stir-fry quickly to mix evenly, and serve.

## Additional Notes

- Blanching the cauliflower in advance shortens the stir-frying time and helps it cook through more easily.
- Stir-frying time can be adjusted based on your preferred texture. Reduce the time if you prefer a crispier texture.
