Instructions
Crispy Cauliflower
- Cut or break the cauliflower into medium-size florets.
- Combine the flour, corn flour, white pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix and slowly pour water while mixing the batter. Keep adding water until you have a thickish batter (around ½ cup).
- Add the cauliflower florets into the batter and using a spatula, toss the florets until they are properly coated.
- Add oil to a saucepan or a pan for deep frying and heat over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot enough, add the battered cauliflower in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. When golden, transfer to a plate with a paper towel and set aside.
Manchurian Sauce
- Heat some oil over medium heat in a wok or a big frying pan and add the spring onion, chopped green pepper and chopped garlic.
- Stir for a few minutes and then add ketchup, soy sauce, Sambal Oelek, sugar, and white pepper.
- Add water, stir and cook for a few minutes.
- Dilute the corn flour in the water and add to the wok. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes and remove from the cooker.
- Add the deep-fried cauliflower florets into the sauce, mix well and serve.
Notes
- Serve with finely chopped fresh spring onions on the top.
- If you want something to cool down your mouth, you can add some plant-based yogurt on the side.
