Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with oil.
- Combine the cauliflower and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake until well coated. Add 1/2 cup of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, then reseal and shake until well coated.
- Heat the remaining 1/3 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cauliflower and fry, tossing to cook on all sides, until deep golden brown in spots, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fried cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet and bake until the cauliflower starts to get crispy, 10 to 15 minutes
- While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the sauce. Whisk together the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; the sauce should thicken slightly.
- Whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl until fully dissolved. Add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling sauce, reduce the heat to low and cook until thickened, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and add half of the sauce. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated, then add the remaining sauce and toss. Garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds and serve with rice.
- Place the rice and 2 1/4 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Put the pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice before serving.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most of your floret salad:
Tips:
- **Choose the right florets.** Not all florets are created equal. Some, like broccoli florets, are more tender and have a milder flavor, while others, like cauliflower florets, are more firm and have a more pronounced flavor. Choose the florets that you like best and that will complement the other ingredients in your salad.
- **Cook the florets properly.** Florets can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The best way to cook florets is to cook them until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked florets will be mushy and bland.
- **Add other vegetables.** Florets are a great base for a salad, but they can also be combined with other vegetables to create a more complex and flavorful dish. Some good vegetables to add to floret salads include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, and carrots.
- **Add protein.** Florets are a good source of fiber and vitamins, but they are not a good source of protein. If you want to add some protein to your floret salad, you can add grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
- **Add cheese.** Cheese is a great way to add flavor and richness to a floret salad. Some good cheeses to add to floret salads include cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- **Add dressing.** Dressing is a must for any salad, and floret salads are no exception. There are many different types of dressings that you can use on floret salads, so choose one that you like and that will complement the other ingredients in your salad.
Conclusion:
Floret salads are a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give floret salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
