  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to fry cauliflower in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Take the number of eggs depending on the size of the head. Or from the purpose of the dish. You can take more for breakfast. If cabbage is served as a side dish, you can do with one egg. Wash the eggs and dry them with paper napkins.

    Rinse the cabbage well under running water. You can even soak it in water for a while. Disassemble the cabbage head into inflorescences.

    Intensively mix the egg mixture in the cabbage so that everything is fried quickly, like scrambled eggs. The faster this happens, the more tender the eggs will turn out. Try the dish with salt. If necessary, add more salt. Fried cauliflower is ready! Serve the dish on the table hot. You can sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs. Enjoy your meal!

You can add cheese to such cabbage when cooking - sprinkle it on top at the very end or put grated cheese in eggs.
You can put boiled cabbage in beaten eggs and then fry in a large amount of oil, you will get something like batter. But this is already a more high-calorie option.

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
