    – ½ tsp black pepper
    – ½ tsp dried chili flakes
    – 1 tsp sugar
    – 1 tsp smoked paprika
    – 1 tsp garlic granules
    – ¾ cup milk or water (start with ½ cup and add more as needed)

    – 1 tbsp ginger, minced
    – 1 tbsp olive oil
    – 3 tbsp soy sauce alternative
    – 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the batter by combining all the batter ingredients in a bowl. Add the cauliflower pieces and toss until well coated.
  2. Heat the oil to 350°F and fry the cauliflower for about 3-4 minutes or until lightly golden. Drain on a napkin to remove excess oil.
  3. For extra crispiness, increase oil temperature to 380°F and double fry the cauliflower for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. To make the sauce, heat olive oil in a pan. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Then add the remaining sauce ingredients and cook until the sauce thickens.
  5. Toss the fried cauliflower in the sauce.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh chives or green onions. Enjoy your Korean fried cauliflower bites!
