Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 c. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 c. ice water
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Kosher salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/3 c. chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add ice water, egg, and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. The batter should be thin.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat about ¼" vegetable oil until oil is shimmering. Toss cauliflower in batter until fully coated. Working in batches, add cauliflower, and cook until golden on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with more salt, if necessary.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic-chili sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ginger. Toss fried cauliflower in sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions and serve.
