Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 head (1 lb / 450 g) cauliflower cut into bite-size florets, Chinese variety
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 4 lices Bacon , cut to bite-size pieces
  • 4 dried chili peppers cut in half, Chinese variety
  • 2 green onions , cut into 2” (5 cm) pieces
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 4 cloves garlic , sliced
  • 1 long red Asian pepper sliced, or Thai bird eye chile, jalapeno, or anaheim pepper

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns Optional but highly recommended, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Add the oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon turns golden. Transfer the bacon to a plate and leave the oil in the pan.
  2. Add the dried chili peppers, green onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir a few times to release fragrance.
  3. Add the cauliflower. Turn to medium-high heat. Stir and cook for 1 minute to coat the cauliflower evenly with oil.
  4. Pour in the sauce. Keep stirring to mix everything together, 1 minute or so. Cook covered for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cauliflower just starts to soften. Add the pepper and the cooked bacon back, stir to mix everything together and cook until the sauce is mostly absorbed, 1 minute or so. Carefully taste the cauliflower. Cook a bit longer and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, if needed.
  5. Transfer everything to a big plate. Serve hot as a side or main dish.
