easyWhy tonight. Chop it finer than feels necessary and use a genuinely hot pan. Cauliflower steams the moment it is crowded.
What it needs
Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.
- cauliflower
- eggs
- soy sauce
- scallion
- garlic
Good if you have them, fine if you do not: sesame oil.
Method
- Chop the cauliflower finer than feels necessary, or grate it. Big pieces steam and never take on any color.
- A genuinely hot pan and no crowding. Cauliflower holds a lot of water and it all comes out at once.
- Push it aside, eggs scrambled in the same pan, then folded through.
- Soy down the side of the pan and sesame oil off the heat. It should taste toasted, not steamed.

Why each of these is on the list
What the ingredients are actually doing
- cauliflower
- Bland when boiled, excellent when browned.
- eggs
- The cheapest way to turn a side dish into dinner.
- soy sauce
- Salt with a savory backbone, so it seasons and deepens in one move.
- scallion
- Two ingredients on one stalk.
- garlic
- Burns in seconds and turns the whole dish bitter, so it almost never goes in first.

Soy eggs over rice
The ten-minute floor of this whole library. A soft egg, hot rice, soy and sesame, and it is better than most things that take an hour.

Egg drop over yesterday's rice, ten minutes and a box of stock. Pour the egg in a thin stream off the boil or you get lumps.

The ranking is only as honest as the shelf behind it. Empty the cream, and everything that leaned on cream should stop being offered.
