Sesame Chili Cauliflower

My Dear Readers

I'm writing this post specially for my vegetarian friends. A quick and simple veg chinese recipe. It's hugely popular as take aways but trust me you're so much better making this at home. The crunch and the spice take it to another level. I made this recipe a couple months back for some friends who preferred vegetarian and they absolutely loved it. I'm hoping that you would make it and love it too.

So let's get started.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Yields: 2 servings


Ingredients

½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup  milk
1 teaspoon  baking powder
1 teaspoon  garlic powder
½ head cauliflower (medium sized florets)
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon  sesame oil
1 tablespoon  chopped garlic
½ cup  soy sauce ( I prefer light soy, you could use either)
¼ cup  rice vinegar
1 tablespoon  sugar
2 tablespoons Sriracha (You can't really substitute it with another hot sauce. It's easily available at any supermarket)
1 tablespoon  cornstarch slurry, mix 1/2 tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 tbsp water
Sesame seed, garnish to taste
Spring onion, chopped, for garnish


Method

Make a batterby mixing flour, milk, baking powder and garlic powder. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat. Deep fry cauliflower until golden brown, remove and drain excess oil.

Heat sesame oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and sriracha. Bring the sauce to a boil then add the cornstarch slurry. Let the sauce thicken.

Add the fried cauliflower and toss to coat in sauce.Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Hope you enjoy this easy and delicious recipe.

Happy Cooking
