description
Cauliflower is eaten stir-fried or steamed briefly so it still has bite. It is also eaten raw with baked shrimp paste dip or pickled with spices as a condiment. Most often only the florets are used, although the young leaves and inner stem can be eaten.
I fondly remember my mother making pickled cauliflower as a side dish, using the left over stem. It is sliced very thinly, salted to make them crisp, then the addition of lemon juice to balance the saltiness.
