Trivia

[For Health Conscious] Cauliflower hides behind broccoli in Japan but is hugely popular in Taiwanese buffets (Zizhu Can). Less quirky than broccoli, becoming fluffy and sweet like potato when heated, matching garlic saltiness perfectly. Chopped fine as 'cauliflower rice', it becomes the ultimate low-carb recipe.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Adding a little finely chopped, crispy-fried 'bacon' or 'dried shrimp' explodes saltiness and umami, making the ultimate beer snack!
