Try our general tso’s chicken for another dish that’s sticky and sweet with just the right amount of heat! Here’s what you need for the cauliflower:
Cauliflower: look for a large cauliflower with fresh lively leaves! Cooking oil: any type of cooking oil such as olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil will work. Cornstarch: a dusting of cornstarch is the not-so-secret ingredient that helps the cauliflower become nice and crispy as it bakes. Sesame seeds: sesame seeds provide a little crunch and flavor. Green onion: green onions (also known as scallions) are flavorful, peppery, and slightly sweet with a milder taste than regular onions.
Here’s what you need for the irresistible general tso’s sauce:
Sesame oil: sesame oil gives the sauce a distinctly nutty and earthy Asian flavor. Ginger + garlic: ginger and garlic are a dynamic duo that enhances the sauce and makes it warm and spicy. If you love ginger, feel free to add more to taste. Hoisin sauce: hoisin is a rich, salty, and tangy sauce with a similar profile to barbecue sauce. You can find it in most grocery stores alongside other Asian sauces. Honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce: honey makes the sauce sweet and sticky but you can use maple syrup to keep it vegan. Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari if needed. Chili flakes: we use a modest amount of dried chili pepper flakes but feel free to add more or less to taste. Cornstarch: cornstarch helps thicken the sauce to coat the cauliflower.
