Sticky Cauliflower the Asian Way
Pane-Bistecca
There are so many ways you can cook vegetables and one way I have come to love is the Asian way of combining crunchy with spiciness and sweetness. Since I really like cauliflower and it lends itself to recipes like this, I chose it!
But I didn’t make it swimming in the sauce, I held back on it a bit because my darling doesn’t like it too sticky sweet. So, if you like a lot of sauce, make double the amount.
