How to Make Red Curried Cauliflower

  1. Cut 1 large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Immediately transfer the cauliflower to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain a vibrant color. Drain well.
  4. (Optional) Prepare the cauliflower up to 1 day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  7. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  8. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk.
  9. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium.
  10. Stir in 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons Heinz chili sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1-2 tablespoons Asian chili paste (adjust to your spice preference).
  11. Add the drained cauliflower to the skillet. Gently stir to coat in the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  12. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving warm.
