• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder, optional
• 1/3 – ¼ cup water

Sauce

• 1 ½ tbsp sesame oil
• ¼ cup light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1-2 tbsp sriracha sauce
• 1” fresh ginger, finely minced
• 4-5 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
• 2-3 tbsp honey/maple syrup
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• ¼ cup water

Instructions

Cauliflower

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. While the oven is preheating, line your baking pan with foil or parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cornstarch, oil, garlic powder and water to make a smooth, thick mixture.
3. Coat the cauliflower florets in this mixture and place in a single layer on the prepared baking pan.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until done. Make sure to watch the cauliflower in order to not overcook it. You want to retain the crunchy texture of the cauliflower.

Sauce

1. While the cauliflower is in the oven, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha sauce, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook for 5-6 minutes. If using maple syrup instead of the honey, you can add that during this step as well.
2. Whisk the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add this mixture to the simmering sauce.
3. Cook until the sauce thickens for another 2-3 minutes. Take it off the heat and add the honey to the sauce. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
4. Once the cauliflower is ready, toss it in with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, spring onions, and sliced chilies. Serve immediately and enjoy!
