SPICY CAULIFLOWER FRIED 'RICE' WITH PORK
This is a slightly more spicy (zingy?) take on the paleo-style cauliflower fried rice with pork. You could use any protein. Adjust the poblano chile to mild it down or heat it up as desired.

Steps:
- Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice.
- Heat sesame oil a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops with five-spice powder; cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a cutting board to rest.
- Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger together in a bowl.
- Return wok to medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, onion, carrot, and poblano chile until tender, about 4 minutes. Cut pork chops into cubes.
- Push mushroom mixture to one side of wok. Add eggs; cook and stir until scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir mushroom mixture and eggs together in wok. Stir in cauliflower and soy sauce mixture; add pork cubes. Cook until cauliflower is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Garnish with green onions.

Steps:
- 1. In a shallow dish place the flour, cornstarch, salt, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder paprika, cajun seasoning and yeast. Mix well
- 2. In another shallow dish mix the milk, hot sauce, and Dijon mustard.
- 3. Bring the oil to 350 degrees. Dip the cauliflower in the milk mixture then the flour then back in milk then flour again. Deep fry 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with favorite dipping sauce
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, choose a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads that have any brown or yellow spots.
- Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too big, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
- Coat the cauliflower in a flavorful batter: The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower evenly, but not too thick that it weighs it down. You can use a variety of ingredients to make the batter, such as flour, cornstarch, eggs, milk, and spices.
- Fry the cauliflower in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the cauliflower is added. This will help the cauliflower cook quickly and evenly.
- Drain the cauliflower on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil from the cauliflower.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately: Fried cauliflower is best served hot and crispy. You can serve it with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or Sriracha sauce.
Conclusion:
Spicy fried cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it is also a healthy alternative to traditional fried foods. With its crispy coating and flavorful filling, spicy fried cauliflower is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
