Instructions

  1. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  2. Then, mix the rice flour, chickpea flour, salt, and water in a bowl. One by one, start coating your cauliflower florets in the wet mixture.
  3. Then, transfer the cauliflower florets to the breadcrumbs bowl and coat with breadcrumbs until fully covered.
  4. Leave the coated florets aside, and prepare the Hoisin Sauce by combining all the ingredients in a cooking pan (except for the corn flour and water), and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Then add the corn flour slurry (corn flour combined with water) and keep stirring until the sauce thickens to the right consistency.
  6. Now it's time to fry the cauliflower florets. Heat up enough oil to cover the bottom of a pan or wok, and in batches, cook your cauliflower florets until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and leave on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
  7. Remove from the pan and leave on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
  8. Then, transfer the fried cauliflower with the sauce and combine well until all the florets are coated with the Hoisin sauce.
  9. Steam the bao buns using a bamboo steamer or a regular steamer (this process should only take a couple of minutes), and fill the bao buns with the Hoisin cauliflower and your favorite toppings.
