At lunch, I was looking to make some cauliflower but I didn't want to heat the whole house by roasting for nearly at hour at a high temp so I decided to stir-fry it. In the past, I had used a bit of water to kind of steam the broccoli but for this cauliflower, I decided to just use a tiny amount of oil and let sit for a time to really get that crisp. I tossed the cauliflower in a bit of oil and then curry powder and salt. I put a thin layer of oil on the wok and, at high heat, stir-fried it. It came out pretty good. Maybe a bit oily but certainly not bad.

I repeated the same idea for me and Meredith for dinner. This time, I had more cauliflower plus an onion and some bell peppers. Also, instead of curry powder, I used the Indian spice blend made for me by my Indian friend's mom. I used that with smoked salt and it also came out really flavorful. Again, maybe a tad too much oil. Finally for dinner, we also had over-medium fried eggs on english muffins with "Coriander Chutney".

I think I am just starting to get a hang on stir-frying veggies. The trick is patience, letting them sit for a bit, and not overcrowding the wok. Also, as I discovered later (not for this meal), sometimes a medium-high heat is better.
