Nutritional values
This is the perfect side dish, with no fat, hardly any calories, and instead, substances from chili and ginger that boost the metabolism. In addition, cauliflower supports the immune system with plenty of vitamin C and strengthens the work of heart, nerves, and muscles with potassium.
In order to achieve the optimum flavour, the cauliflower needs at least 3 weeks to soak through. It goes very well with roast meat, grilled meat, fish, cold roasts, or sushi.

Rinse cauliflower, pat dry, and cut into florets.
Rinse mini corn cobs and drain. Peel garlic and onions.
Rinse chile peppers. Rinse basil, shake dry and pluck leaves.
Trim ends of lemongrass, remove tough outer layer and cut lemongrass into pieces that will fit into jar. Rinse ginger root, pat dry and cut into slices.
In a pot, bring approximately 2 cups water, salt, sugar, and vinegar to a boil. In separate batches, cook cauliflower, corn, garlic, onion and lemongrass for about 5 minutes each, removing each with a skimmer and draining in a sieve. Remove pot from heat and reserve cooking liquid.
