Ingredients
- 1/4 /4 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons green onion finely chopped
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 /2 cup flour plus 1/2 cup for dredging
- 1/2 /2 cup milk
- 1/2 /2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt coarse
- 4 cups cauliflower approx. 1 small-medium head of cauliflower, florets
- cooking oil for frying
- green onion for garnish
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, chili garlic paste, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, and honey. Add salt to taste as needed.
- In a new bowl, whisk together flour, milk, water, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt.
- Dredge cauliflower in 1/2 cup flour. In batches, place dredged cauliflower in batter to coat, letting batter drip off before cooking.
- Fry: To fry the cauliflower, heat 1-2 inches of oil (I use vegetable) in a dutch oven. Place battered cauliflower in heated oil and fry on each side for approximately 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Be sure to not crowd the pan. Remove florets and place on a paper towel to drain oil. Continue frying in batches until all cauliflower is cooked. Toss in the sauce; serve with additional green onion slices, cilantro and sesame seeds as desired.
- Bake: If baking, preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place battered florets in a single layer. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and toss in sauce (I like to reserve some sauce little for when it's served). Continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Top with additional green onion slices, cilantro and sesame seeds as desired.
Notes
- Omit the honey and use an alternative milk to make this dish vegan!
