Kung Pao Market Cauliflower

Roasted cauliflower and tofu in kung pao sauce with crushed peanuts and green onions. Served over quinoa.

Short History: It is believed that Kung Pao chicken – and therefore the sauce – was named after Ding Baozhen, who was governor of the Sichuan Province, and a member of the Gongbao. He loved spicy food, chicken, and peanuts, so the combination dish was named after his title as pun after he created it. Using the character 丁 in the Chinese word of the dish is also a pun based on his name – his surname “Ding” was a moderately common Chinese surname which also can be read to mean “small cube” – just like the chicken is prepared in the traditional dish. In this version of the dish by TVT, you will receive fiber, antioxidants, Vitamin K, magnesium, and more!
