Ingredients:

• 1/2 fresh cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups plant-based meat, chopped into small pieces
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

3. In the same pan, lightly cook the cauliflower pieces in a little water until they are just tender.
4. Drain the water and add the plant-based meat, mixing well.
5. Stir in the reserved sauce and mix thoroughly. Add the chopped green onions and turn off the heat.
