Steps:
- For the cauliflower: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. (If your cauliflower is large, preheat 2 baking sheets.)
- Whisk the flour together with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Toss the cauliflower in the mixture until evenly coated. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the cauliflower into the baking sheet, leaving any excess sauce behind in the bowl. (Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the cauliflower will steam and not become crispy; you may need to bake in batches or use two baking sheets.) Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes.
- For the sesame sauce: Meanwhile, put the soy, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, cornstarch, sesame seeds, ginger, sriracha, garlic and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk together thoroughly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to medium-low and let simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce becomes glossy and thick, about 2 minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss with half of the sesame sauce. Return the cauliflower to the oven until dark and glossy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a serving bowl and drizzle with more sauce. Add sesame seeds and scallions over the top and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cauliflower florets. If using frozen cauliflower, thaw it completely before cooking.
- To make the florets more crispy, toss them in a little cornstarch before frying.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the cauliflower. This will prevent the florets from cooking evenly.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the cauliflower in a large skillet with a little oil.
- To make the sesame sauce, whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth. You can adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more or less water.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately after frying, drizzled with the sesame sauce.
Conclusion:
This Sticky Sesame Cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
