Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- ¼ Cup scallions chopped (the white part only)
- 2 Garlic cloves minced
- 4 Cups cauliflower florets fresh not frozen
- 1/3 Cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Sesame seeds
- 1 Cup water
Instructions
- Place 1 cup water into your Instant Pot Liner. Place cauliflower florets into a steamer basket, and place basket into liner. Close and lock lid, close vent on lid. Press Pressure Cook/Manual button for 0 minutes. Once done, do a QPR (quick pressure release). Press the Cancel button. You don't want it to be on warming.
- Remove basket of cauliflower and set to side. Drain all water out of the pot, and allow to dry.
- Let's prepare the sauce! In a small bowl whisk the soy sauce with the brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil.
- Place liner back in Instant Pot. Press Sauté button and add vegetable oil to pot. Once heated, add in sliced onions and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute. Once done, add sauce mixture to pot, stir, and then add in cauliflower.
- Gently stir cauliflower and until the sauce has thickened and caramelized. Remove from heat and finish with sesame seeds and green portions of scallions.
Notes
- You can serve this with rice or with noodles.
- The sauce is sweet and garlicky and super sticky so it’s perfect to serve with a delicate side.
- Cut florets into bigger pieces. If your cauliflower florets are small pieces, they will become very mushy in texture.
