Sticky Pork Belly Bites

The dish provides an excellent balance between sweet, salty, and spicy and literally melts in your mouth. The addition of cucumber and carrot adds flavour and a pleasant crunch, and helps to cut down the spiciness.

Sticky Sesame Cauliflower Wings

We’ve been enjoying a dish very similar to this one at the very popular Pure Kitchen restaurant here in Ottawa for the past couple of years and have been trying out different ways to recreate it. We tried deep frying, sauteing, and even an air fryer method, but none of our attemps came close to the crunchy cauliflower we were trying to achieve. Usually, everything just ended up as mush, or the sauce wouldn’t stick because the breading was wrong. This needed to be rectified!
