  3. Dip each small floret into the batter and make sure each piece is entirely covered.
  4. Fry in oil until completely browned. * or Bake at 425 degrees F / 220ºc for 25 to 30 minutes. Add more flour to the batter to make it thick if needed
  5. Allow to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Orange Sauce:
  1. In a clean skillet, heat oil and garlic for 1 minute.
  2. Add green onions, zest and juice. Cook another 1 minute.
  3. Add soy sauce and vinegar and bring to a boil. Toss in crispy cauliflower into the skillet and coat thoroughly. Keep on the pan briefly.
  4. Place on top of rice.
Orange Sauce Drizzle:
  1. In that same skillet, throw in the remainder ingredients and bring to a boil for just 1 minute, stirring constantly.
