Mongolian BBQ Cauliflower Stir Fry

Mongolian BBQ Cauliflower Stir Fry

Mongolian BBQ Cauliflower Stir Fry was a complete experiment.  I was attempting to make a meatless stir fry.  It came out decent, but next time I want to play with the BBQ sauce some.  This time I used Mongolian Style BBQ Sauce.

I am a big fan of your traditional stir fry recipes.  There are a lot of different variations you can try.  I have done everything from teriyaki chicken to this barbecue chicken to a sweet and sour chicken.  Beef can also be marinated in soy sauce and used instead of chicken.  This was my first attempt at not using meat.

I have also experimented with a variety of vegetable medleys.  So far, I just buy a prepackaged mix of vegetables.  I would like to experiment with my own fresh vegetable mix as well.

The first time I made it I used frozen cauliflower and air fried it.  I was trying to get a grilled chicken type of texture out of my cauliflower.  That didn’t work, my cauliflower was soggy.  Next time (as the recipe indicates below), I’m going to use fresh cauliflower and try to fry it in grease (or grill it, if it happens to be nice enough here) and see if that works better.
