Cheesecake Factory Korean Fried Cauliflower FAQs
01 Why does Cheesecake Factory Korean Fried Cauliflower have 1,150 calories and 2,570mg of sodium? ▼
Cheesecake Factory Korean Fried Cauliflower reaches 1,150 calories and 2,570mg of sodium because three calorie-dense components surround the 110-calorie base of 12 ounces of raw cauliflower florets: the crispy white rice-flour and cornstarch batter fried in vegetable oil adds 480 calories (41g fat), the 3-ounce gochujang-Kalbi-honey glaze contributes 270 calories (44g sugar and 2,060mg sodium), and the 2-ounce buttermilk ranch dipping cup adds 290 calories (30g fat and 510mg sodium). Ordering the glaze on the side and omitting the ranch cup lowers the bowl to 650 calories.
02 Is Cheesecake Factory Korean Fried Cauliflower vegan? ▼
No, Cheesecake Factory Korean Fried Cauliflower is vegetarian rather than strictly vegan because the sweet-and-spicy Korean chile glaze is sweetened with pure bee honey. Ordering the bowl without the buttermilk ranch dipping cup removes all dairy and egg ingredients.
03 Is Korean Fried Cauliflower gluten-free? ▼
No, Korean Fried Cauliflower is not gluten-free because the Korean chile glaze contains brewed soy sauce and Kalbi marinade made with wheat, and the rice-flour battered florets are cooked in shared commercial fryers.
04 Is Korean Fried Cauliflower on the Cheesecake Factory Happy Hour menu? ▼
Yes, Korean Fried Cauliflower is featured on the weekday happy hour bar menu from Monday through Friday between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM for $8.95, saving diners $4.55 (34%) off the standard $13.50 dining room price.
05 How spicy is the Korean Fried Cauliflower sauce? ▼
The Korean chile glaze delivers a medium-mild heat level of approximately 2,000 to 3,500 Scoville Heat Units. Pure clover honey, sweet Indonesian soy sauce (kecap manis), and fresh lime juice balance the fermented gochujang red chili paste and sriracha, while the chilled buttermilk ranch dip cools the palate.
06 Can Korean Fried Cauliflower be ordered dairy-free and egg-free? ▼
Yes, Korean Fried Cauliflower is 100% dairy-free, lactose-free, and egg-free when ordered without the buttermilk ranch dipping cup. Neither the rice-flour batter nor the gochujang-honey glaze contains milk or egg products.
