- 2 teasopon toasted sesame seeds

Method
Step 1
Place the large measurement of flour in a bowl along with salt, pepper, dried oregano and mix well. Gradually add water, stirring as you go, to form a pourable but thick paste. You may need more water or less.
Step 2
Place the florets into this flour paste and mix very well until the paste is evenly dispersed around all sides of the cauliflower pieces. Place a good centimeter of oil in your fry pan and on high heat - you need this to be heating for a good 2-3 minutes so the oil is very hot.
Step 3
Add florets into the hot oil, separating if they clump together. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown then flip and repeat. Remove and drain on paper towel. Repeat this step until all florets have been cooked.
Step 4
In a large saucepan, place the ginger in one tablespoon of oil and fry for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the remaining ingredients (ketchup, soy, sweet chilli and honey) and cook for 4-5 minutes. This mix will bubble a lot, but when you move a spoon along the bottom of the pan and the mix does not run back together straight away then it is ready.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and add cauliflower. Mix well and serve with sprinkled toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions. Whip together the vegan mayonnaise and an extra 2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce. Serve in a ramekin alongside.
