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.
