An easy and tasty way to spice up a humble cauliflower. This sweet sticky sauce is a total game changer. I was inspired by a local Cambodian restaurant that serve a version of this (but a lot spicier!!) I have toned it down a little but it still has an authentic Cambodian vibe – it is sweet, tangy, spicy and sticky all one and it is like no other.
Ingredients
- For the cauliflower:• 1 head of cauliflower (cut into bite size florets) • 150g gluten free self-raising flour • 150ml water • 50g cornflour • ½ tsp salt • 800ml vegetable oil (for frying) For the sauce: • 100g honey • 1 tbsp gluten free soy sauce • 50g sriracha chilli sauce* • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar • 1 tbsp sesame oil To finish: • 3 spring onions (chopped) • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place the oil in a deep, high sided pan over a medium high heat. Put the cornflour in a bowl and set to one side.
- Combine the self-raising flour, salt and water together until you have a smooth batter.
- Take your cauliflower florets and roll them in the batter, then directly into the cornflour.
- Fry each piece for 5 minutes until crispy all over and the cauliflower is cooked through.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a pan and stir until combined and heated through. Roll your crispy cauliflower pieces through the sauce to coat.
- Finish with chopped spring onions and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
- Enjoy!
