Cauliflower Karaage

Cultural Context

Karaage, a Japanese cooking technique, traditionally involves marinating and frying meat, often chicken. This cauliflower variation celebrates plant-based eating while maintaining the crispy texture and umami flavors characteristic of the original dish. Popular in izakayas, it has gained international appeal as a delicious, healthier alternative to fried snacks.
