# Easy Cauliflower and Pork Jowls Stir-Fry 菜花炒豬頸肉

Cuisine: chinese · Time: 18 minutes · Servings: 4

## Ingredients

- 350 g Taiwanese cauliflower
- 350 g Pork (sliced)
- 5 cloves Garlic (chopped)
- 1 stalk	 Green onion
- 2 tbsp Abalone sauce ( or oyster sauce)
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- ¼ tsp Sugar
- 1 ½ tsp Cornstarch
- ¾ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Garlic powder
- ½ c Water
- 1 ½ tsp Cornstarch (for slurry)
- 3 tbsp Water (for slurry)
- 2 tbsp Oil

## Steps

1. Slice pork jowls into slices.  Note that pork jowls are quite thin and a little tough to slice, so you may want to slice at a diagonal against the grain and use a sharpened knife.  Alternatively, Asian grocery stores may have pre-sliced ones usually for hot pots.  I have also had the butcher slice for me.
2. Marinate the pork jowls with ¼ tsp sugar, ¼ garlic powder, ¾ tsp salt and 1 ½ tsp cornstarch.  Mix well and set aside
3. Cut the cauliflower to similar length as the pork jowls and separate the florets into bite size width
4. Chop 5 cloves of garlic and cut green onions to 5 cm or 2” segments
5. Heat wok to medium-high heat.  Add 2 tbsp oil
6. Add pork jowls to the wok and arrange in single layer.  Let it fry for 1 minute then flip over and fry for another minute.  Remove from wok but leave the oil
7. Add cauliflower to the wok (add a bit more oil if there is no oil left in the wok). Stir-fry for 1 minute
8. Add chopped garlic.  Adding garlic after the vegetables will prevent the garlic from burning
9. Add 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine.  Stir-fry for 30 seconds
10. Add 2 tbsp abalone sauce and ½ c water
11. Cover wok with lid for 3-5 minutes or until cauliflower is at your desired texture
12. Prepare slurry with 1 ½ tsp cornstarch and 3 tbsp water.  Mix well and set aside
13. Add the pork jowls back into the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute or until the pork jowls are fully cooked
14. Give the slurry a mix and pour it slowly into the wok.  Stir until sauce has thickened
15. Reduce the heat while you taste test and make adjustments with salt and/or sugar I did not need to add anything extra
16. Add green onions. Mix well
17. Serve
