Braised Pork with Dried Cauliflower

Braised Pork with Dried Cauliflower

Overview

Dried cauliflower is fresh cauliflower that has been soaked in water and then dried. It was autumn, and I saw many people discussing around a large cart of cauliflower. When I went there, I realized that such good cauliflower only cost 1 yuan per kilogram. It was so cheap that it was like picking vegetables to eat. But you can’t just eat every day when it’s cheap. So I didn’t want to buy more. But when I saw many people selling large and small bags, I asked how I could eat so much. An old aunt told me that it can be dried and eaten in the winter, and it is delicious even when stewed or roasted. I just bought a few kilograms, and after drying, there won’t be much left. I have been cleaning up the house these days, so I put away the dried cauliflower. I thought I would stew meat and try the taste of braised meat with dried cauliflower. Cauliflower is cool in nature and sweet in taste; it can nourish the kidneys and essence, strengthen the brain and bones, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. It is mainly used to treat long-term physical weakness, flaccid limbs, tinnitus and forgetfulness, weak spleen and stomach, and developmental delay in children.
