ingredients

  • 4 cups florets cauliflower
  • 6 tablepoons all purpose flour
  • 1 teasopon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 piece ginger, 1cm
  • 4 tablepoons sweet chilli sauce
  • 4 tablepoons ketchup
  • 3 tablepoons mayple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablepoons soy sauce
  • 2 cups vegtable oil
  • 2 teasopon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced spring onions
  • 2 tablepoons vegan mayonnise

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.
