Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Cauliflower Stir Fry.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken and cauliflower dish, grab a large glass bowl and mix together 1/4 cup of water, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, cornstarch, sesame oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Stir everything until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 3
Next, add your sliced chicken to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight if you want to amp up the flavor.
Step 5
While the chicken is soaking up those tasty flavors, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Step 6
Toss in the cauliflower florets and let them cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, just until they’re tender but still have a bit of crunch.
Step 7
Once they’re ready, drain them and quickly plunge them into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
Step 8
After a few minutes, drain them again and set aside.
Step 9
Now it’s time to heat things up! In a large wok or skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of canola oil and heat it over high heat until it’s almost smoking.
Step 10
Add in some garlic and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
Step 11
Sauté the garlic for about 2 to 3 minutes, pressing it into the oil until it turns a rich, dark brown.
Step 12
Once it’s fragrant and golden, remove the garlic cloves and discard them.
Step 13
Next, take your marinated chicken and drain off the marinade.
Step 14
Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, letting it cook undisturbed for about 3 to 5 minutes until it’s beautifully browned.
Step 15
Give it a stir and pour in 1/2 cup of water, scraping the bottom of the wok to release those delicious browned bits.
Step 16
Now, stir in the cream of mushroom soup along with another 1/2 cup of water.
Step 17
Add in the oyster sauce, 3/4 teaspoon of sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Step 18
Finally, fold in the cooked cauliflower, ensuring each piece is coated in that luscious sauce.
Step 19
Let everything simmer together for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cauliflower is tender.
Step 20
And there you have it—a delightful dish that’s bursting with flavor and sure to impress! Enjoy your meal!.
