Fried Cauliflower With Sesame And Hoisin Recipes

MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW KING OF FRIED FOODS. STICKY, SPICY AND SAUCY FRIED CAULIFLOWER.

Steps:

• Break your cauliflower down into small bite-sized chunks. Once you remove the stem you should be able to break them apart with your hands.
• In a large pot filled with an inch of water, steam your cauliflower until tender, 2-3 minutes depending on size. You don't want to over-cook it or else it'll give you trouble when trying to skewer it! Once steamed, remove from pot and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine water, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, a pinch of both salt and pepper and the sesame oil. The batter should be thick, not runny and have a strong sesame scent.
• Take your steamed florets and skewer them through the stem onto the stick, about three large or four medium will do. Dunk them in the batter one at a time. Transfer to a baking sheet and sprinkle with a healthy amount of extra corn starch. Deep fry at 350F for 2-3 min or until golden brown. Remove from oil and allow to drain and slightly cool.
• In a pot over medium heat, add water, honey and gochujang. This is a very basic sauce, spicy and sweet. If you want less heat, simply add more honey. Just make sure to slightly reduce the sauce to obtain that perfect saucy, sticky consistency.
• Chop peanuts, chives or green onion and set side. Brush sauce on each skewer then sprinkle with your garnishes.
