📋 Ingredient List

IngredientAmount
cauliflower1 piece

🧂 Seasonings

  • dried chili peppers
  • Sichuan peppercorns
  • garlic
  • scallion
  • salt
  • light soy sauce
  • 耗油
  • white sesame seeds

👨‍🍳 Cooking Steps

Step 1: Cut cauliflower into small florets, soak in light saltwater for 10 minutes, wash and drain thoroughly.

Step 2: Cut dried chili peppers into sections, flatten, peel and mince garlic, cut scallions into shreds.

Step 3: Heat the pan and cool down, stir-fry the Sichuan peppercorns over medium-low heat until fragrant (leave only the base oil to avoid astringent taste).

Step 4: Turn to medium heat, add dried chili peppers, shredded scallions and minced garlic, stir-fry until the spicy flavor develops (be careful not to burn it).

Step 5: Turn up the heat, add the drained cauliflower and stir-fry quickly until the edges of the cauliflower are slightly charred and the texture becomes soft.

Step 6: Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce and stir-fry evenly. If the pot is dry, pour a small amount of water along the edge of the pot, cover and simmer for 30 seconds.

Step 7: Open the lid and heat over high heat to drain the soup, sprinkle in the white sesame seeds, stir well and serve.

💡 Pro Tips

  1. The cauliflower must be fully drained of water to achieve the crispy texture of dry bananas and avoid becoming soft and rotten. 2. The key is to stir-fry the cauliflower quickly over high heat to make the cauliflower crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. 3. Adding sugar can enhance the freshness and relieve the spiciness, making the overall taste softer. Oyster sauce can enhance the freshness of the dishes, so it is not recommended to omit it. Do you prefer the crispy and tender texture or the soft and waxy texture when making dry pot cauliflower?
