Tomato Stir-Fried Cauliflower

Tomato Stir-Fried Cauliflower

This vibrant and flavorful stir-fried cauliflower with tomatoes is a deliciously healthy dish that brings together crisp-tender cauliflower, juicy tomatoes, and a medley of colorful peppers and wood ear mushrooms. The recipe starts by blanching cauliflower florets to preserve their crunch, while tomatoes are peeled and cooked down into a rich, slightly tangy base. Stir-fried with fresh green and red peppers for a sweet-spicy kick and earthy wood ear mushrooms for texture, this dish is finished with a light starch glaze for a glossy, restaurant-quality finish. A touch of chicken essence enhances the umami depth, making every bite irresistible. Perfect as a side or a light main, this recipe is a quick, nutritious, and visually stunning way to enjoy seasonal vegetables at their best!
