I made this popular Cheesecake Factory dish --- But crispier!!!

Korean Fried Cauliflower is one of my favorite Cheesecake Factory appetizers. In this economy, we don't go out for dinner that often anymore, so I like to recreate my favorite dishes at home. This dish is easy to make, only 10 min of prep time, and if you serve it over rice, you can turn it into a full dinner.
Enjoy
