BATTERED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to combine. Whisk in 1 cup water to create a thin pancake-like batter (you may need to add more water to achieve the right consistency). Using your hand or 2 forks and working one at a time, dip cauliflower florets into batter, letting excess drip back into bowl, and divide between 2 parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake cauliflower until edges are just beginning to turn golden brown, 20–25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk gochujang, soy sauce, maple syrup, mirin, and 1 cup water in a medium bowl. Pour sauce into a skillet large enough to hold all of the cauliflower florets (a 12" skillet should do it) and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Cook, whisking, until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, 8–10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and remove pan from heat.
• Using tongs, transfer cauliflower to skillet with glaze and toss until florets are evenly coated in sauce.
• Divide rice among shallow bowls and spoon cauliflower over. Top with sesame seeds and scallions.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine milk and water. In another large bowl, combine flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt. and pepper. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
• Add half of cauliflower to bowl and turn florets until well coated. Transfer to a wire rack (or colander) to let any excess batter drip off. Toss remaining cauliflower florets in batter and transfer to a wire rack (or colander) once the first batch of cauliflower is cooking.
• Preheat an air fryer, if necessary, to 350°F. Lightly coat air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Add half of battered cauliflower to basket in a single layer and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Air-fry for 15 minutes. Remove from air fryer and place in a large bowl. Repeat with remaining battered cauliflower and add to bowl when done cooking.
• Meanwhile, to prepare sauce, in a small pan over medium-high heat, bring hot sauce, butter, and honey just to a boil (or cook in microwave). Quickly remove from heat, add to bowl with cauliflower, and toss to coat.
• Serving size: 1/4 of cauliflower florets
