How to Make Organic Cauliflower Dry Pot: A Complete Guide

Organic cauliflower, with its firm texture and mild flavor, shines in the spicy, aromatic Sichuan-style dry pot. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate this restaurant favorite at home.

Ingredients: 1 medium organic cauliflower (cut into florets), 200g pork belly (sliced), 2 dried chili peppers, 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp ginger (minced), 2 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tbsp bean paste, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp cooking wine, and chopped green onions for garnish.

Steps:

1. Prep: Blanch cauliflower florets in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain. Marinate pork belly with cooking wine, light soy sauce, and a pinch of salt for 10 minutes.

2. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok over medium fire. Add Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies until fragrant. Toss in pork belly and stir-fry until golden. Add garlic, ginger, and bean paste, stirring for 30 seconds.

3. Combine: Add cauliflower florets, stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Drizzle in light soy sauce and sugar, mixing well.

4. Finish: Transfer to a preheated clay pot or serving dish. Garnish with green onions and serve hot.

Tip: For a vegetarian version, skip the pork belly and add mushrooms or tofu. Adjust spice levels by reducing dried chilies. Enjoy this crispy, spicy, and savory dish with steamed rice!
