Cooking

  1. Place coated cauliflower in      air fryer. Fry at 350F for 15-20 minutes (depends on the size of your air      fryer and the portion of your cauliflower, check accordingly to when      cooking)

  2. Turn stove on medium heat,      heat 1 tbsp oil on a skillet. When oil is medium hot, add 1 tbsp minced garlic and stir fry      with until fragrant. Add 1.5 tbsp      Korean red pepper paste (adjust to your taste)* and 1/4 cup mirin, let it      boil for alcohol to evaporate. Then reduce heat to medium low

Note

  • I find that Korean gochujang is more spicy than Korean chili powder. So If the spiciness does not bothering you, you can add more to your taste.
