Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables to make when I want a meatless meal. Its versatile and easy to cook with. This dish is full of Asian Inspired flavors and definitely has a kick that’s not too overpowering and wont take away from the other flavors. Although I added some non vegan friendly ingredients to this meal, it can be completely vegan friendly!
