Cauliflower for a whole meal? You've never had cauliflower like this before. Coated in delightful tempura, fried to perfection, then given a nice sheen with the Thai sweet chili sauce… It's like cauliflower leveled up and left all the other vegetation in the dust. (A nice healthy dust, but a dust nonetheless.)

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Pull strings from snap peas and halve. If string is hard to find and remove, make a cut very thin lengthwise along the string.
Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. -
2 Start the Cauliflower
Once water is boiling, add cauliflower and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover, and stir occasionally until tender, 3-4 minutes.
Drain cauliflower in a colander and set aside.Wipe pot clean and reserve. -
3 Make the Rice
Bring rice and 11/2 cups water to a boil in pot used to cook cauliflower.
Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 14-17 minutes.Stir in snap peas and white portions of green onions. Remove from burner and set aside covered.While rice cooks, heat oil and batter cauliflower. -
4 Heat Oil and Batter Cauliflower
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add canola oil. Heat oil, 3-5 minutes.
While canola oil heats, add tempura, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir until a thin batter like pancake batter forms. If too thick, add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until correct consistency is reached.Add cauliflower to bowl and toss to coat completely. -
5 Fry Cauliflower and Finish Dish

If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches if necessary, add cauliflower to hot oil and flip occasionally until crispy and golden brown, 5-6 minutes.Transfer cooked cauliflower to towel-lined plate.Combine soy sauce and sweet chili sauce in another mixing bowl.
