Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cauliflower (cut into florets)
  • 1/3 cup rice flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/3 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 inch fresh ginger (finely chopped)
  • 4–5 cloves fresh garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onions
  • Sliced chilies

Instructions

  1. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into even florets. Make sure the pieces are not too small so they do not burn while baking.
  2. In a bowl, mix the rice flour or all-purpose flour, cornstarch, oil, and garlic powder. Gradually add water until a smooth, thick batter forms.
  3. Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let excess batter drip off.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Spread the coated cauliflower florets evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Heat the sesame oil in a small pot. Add the finely chopped ginger and garlic, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, honey or maple syrup, and cornstarch. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  8. Once the cauliflower is baked, remove it from the oven and pour the prepared sauce over it. Mix well to coat the florets.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and sliced chilies. Serve hot and enjoy!
