Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head cauliflower, stems removed and cut into florets
- 3 strips of thick cut bacon, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 ounce fresh ginger, sliced
- 5 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
- 1 fresh red chili, sliced or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Soak cauliflower florets in salt water. Meanwhile, prepare bacon, ginger, garlic and chili pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add bacon and cook until it starts to sweat, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and stir until the bacon turns dark pink, about 2 minutes.
- Drain the cauliflower and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute, reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook the cauliflower for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, the cauliflower should be slightly brown by now. Turn the heat back on medium-high. Add garlic and chili pepper. Sauté again until all ingredients are distributed evenly.
- Add coconut aminos and kosher salt. Keep stirring for 30 seconds to allow the flavor to blend in.
- Dish. Season with freshly ground black pepper if desired. Enjoy over rice.
Notes
Coconut aminos can be substituted with soy sauce. Use 1 tablespoon soy sauce first and add more if desired. Please note that the more soy sauce you use, the darker this sauteed cauliflower will turn. I personally like it bright and tasty. 🙂
