Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).
- Place the cauliflower in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk together the canola oil, corn starch, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
- Pour this mixture over the cauliflower and toss well to coat.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Turn the cauliflower once halfway through cooking, until tender and golden.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the sauce. Whisk together all sauce ingredients, from the soy sauce to the corn starch, in a bowl.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over low heat.
- Add the chili peppers and toast for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the sauce and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the baked cauliflower and toss well until coated. Then, turn off the heat and transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish.
- Garnish as desired. I like to serve this with some crisp greens added to the plate right before serving. It adds a little textural variety as well as color. This time I used fresh bok choy leaves, but you could also use Chinese cabbage or sliced scallions. I also add some toasted sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
