Ingredients
>
1 head cauliflower
>
3/4 cup cornstarch
>
3/4 cup flour
>
1 tsp baking powder
>
2 tsp ground ginger
>
2 tsp garlic powder
>
1/2 cup vegetable oil
>
4 green onions
>
1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce
>
2 tbsp sesame seeds
Steps
1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Season with salt. Add 1 cup water and whisk until smooth.
2
Line a baking sheet or large platter with paper towels. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil on medium-high until hot but not smoking. Dip each piece of cauliflower into batter, letting excess drip off, and place in oil. In 2 batches, fry cauliflower 5–6 min., until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the lined baking sheet. Season with salt.
3
Meanwhile, thinly slice the green onions. In a large bowl, gently toss the fried cauliflower with the sweet and sour sauce until well coated.
4
To serve, top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Tips
Serve over white rice with steamed broccoli for a better-than-takeout dinner.
