Stir Fry Cauliflower & Broccoli with Crispy Garlic

This is one simply stir fry vegetable recipe that is a perfect main

 course dish which is suitable for vegetarians and meat lovers.

 

 

Usually, meat and vegetables are good enough for a small

 family when you are lazy to cook more than 2 dish at home.

Cauliflower is the vegetable for today’s post and I had decided

 to make a meatless recipe for a change.

My teenager is a huge fan of broccoli and cauliflower compare

to leafy vegetables.

She would usually finish up them when I cooked this 

Cauliflower & Broccoli with Crispy Garlic because she loves

 the crisp tender texture of both vegetables and the aromatic

 flavor of crispy garlic scattered over them.

 

Although carrots are not her favorites, I would make sure to 

add a few slices to create a nutritious meal.

There are a few ways to cook cauliflower:

Roasted

Stir fries

Stew

Deep fried with batter

Boiled

Secret recipe

When I first learned how to cook this cauliflower recipe from

 my mother-in-law, I had realized that the secret to make 

tender and crisp cauliflower is to pre-boil them in half pot 

of water with a little salt.

After 10 minutes of constant boiling, use a fork to poke into

 each florets to test out the tenderness.

Easily poke into them means they are cooked.

Do not leave them in hot water too long because the cauliflower

 will change its color to white- yellowish and too soft, not crisp.

 

Why you should eat Cauliflowers

Cauliflower and broccoli belonged to this large cruciferous family

 which also included cabbages.

If properly cooked, cauliflower makes a delicious and extremely

 nutritious meal as it contain powerful chemical called indoles.

These indoles are preventive measure to protect humans from

 cancer organs such as breast cancer, colon cancer, stomach

 cancer and mouth cancer.

It is rich in vitamin C,A, folic acid and beta carotene for better

 vision.

Therefore, don’t overcook cauliflower in order to maintain the

 nutrients, easily absorb into our digestive system.
