Know the Dish

Why this cauliflower works

Cauliflower is par-cooked, coated in tempura batter with vodka, mushroom powder, cornstarch, AP flour, and rice flour, then fried to order. The hot sauce layers garlic oil, shallot oil, fish sauce, mirin, vinegar, fried chili crisp, and chili jam.

Great for guests who want a crispy, spicy shareable vegetable dish with deep savory heat.
