Ingredients
For the cauliflower 'wings'
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup plant based milk
For the orange sauce
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
To serve
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds
- chilli flakes
- scallions
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower. Trim off the leaves and remove the stem, then chop the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cumin, paprika and plant based milk.
- Dip each cauliflower floret in the batter, shaking off any excess. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking tray, and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. You can test for doneness using a knife or a fork to make sure the cauliflower is tender all the way through.
- Prepare the sauce. Whisk together water, soy sauce, tomato paste, rice vinegar, orange juice and cornstarch. Transfer to a skillet over a medium heat and whisk continuously for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- When the cauliflower is done, mix it together with the sauce, also adding the sesame seeds. Serve immediately garnished with more sesame seeds, chilli flakes and scallions.
