Start by preparing the tempura batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and a pinch of salt. Slowly pour in the ice-cold soda water, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F. Dip each cauliflower floret into the tempura batter, coating it lightly but evenly, then gently place it into the hot oil. Fry the cauliflower in batches until it's golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain the tempura on paper towels.

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside.
