Kung Pao Cauliflower

  4.6 – 8 reviews  • Cauliflower

They practically melt in your mouth, these delightful traditional scones are so light! The recipe is extremely adaptable. Instead of lavender, use your preferred yogurt flavor with a tablespoon or two of raisins or currants, or another chopped complimentary fruit. If you’re fortunate enough to find it, top with clotted cream, honey, or fruit preserves.

It turned out very well though I made a few changes. I skipped the chicken broth because I made it for vegetarian relatives. I used marsala cooking wine. And I used garlic paste. Even so, it was delicious!

I made this, last night, and it was delicious! I added bok choy and onion, and ate it over rice; very filling. I will, definitely, be making this again.

5.20.20 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/268493/kung-pao-cauliflower/ … While I had ingredient issues, E, 23, had some first night AND the next! He’s not a vegetable guy & this is CAULI! :O Notes: Definitely reduced soy or less of the fullstrength. ‘Sauce could’ve been thicker. Next time with right ingredients, I’ll add additional vegetables – broccoli, carrots or even water chestnuts. Thanks, SLN! Second time: ‘Think little less vinegar & chili sauce to please some. Lowsodium soy is the way to go. 🙂

A great recipe. I made it for today’s vege crowd. The aroma is intoxicating.

I added some broccoli and swapped corn starch for xanthum gum. Turned out pretty well.

I mix it up a bit with the sauce, I didn’t have dry Sherri, used some Bangkok peanut sauce. I also added celery and used unsalted cashews instead of peanuts.
