Adobe cauliflower
1 large cauliflower (2½ to 3 pounds)
Kosher salt 2 teaspoons black pepper, plus more as needed 3 tablespoons canola oil, plus more as needed ½ cup rice wine vinegar 5 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons raw or light brown sugar 6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 3 bay leaves ¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes 3 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving (optional) Trim leaves and woody stalk from the cauliflower, then cut through the root into 8 wedges. Season both sides of each wedge with salt and pepper. Reserve any loose cauliflower pieces. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Place one layer of the wedges in the skillet cut-side down and cook without moving them until well browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and continue until all the cauliflower is seared, adding more oil as needed. Return all the cauliflower to the pan with uncooked side facing down. Add ¼ cup water, any loose cauliflower pieces, 2 teaspoons black pepper, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, bay leaves and Thai chile. Cover and let simmer over medium heat until the cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook, basting the cauliflower occasionally with the sauce, until the cauliflower is tender and the sauce has thickened and reduced to about ¾ cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the cauliflower with plenty of sauce and a sprinkle of scallion
