# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- The cauliflower magically mimics rice texture while soaking up all those spicy, savory flavors
- It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something that simmered all day
02 -
- Watery cauliflower ruins the texture, so pulse gently and briefly
- Don't skip the step of cooking kimchi separately first
03 -
- Don't overcrowd your pan or the cauliflower will steam instead of fry
- Have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking
