INGREDIENTS
Cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower
- 150g wholewheat flour
- 220ml soy milk
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Cooking spray
Sauce
- 2 oranges, juiced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp monk fruit erythritol sweetener
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F and lightly grease a nonstick baking tray.
- Wash and dry cauliflower. Cut into florets. Reserve stem for another dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together wholewheat flour, soy milk, white pepper and salt until combined.
- Add cauliflower into the mixing bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated in batter.
- Transfer battered cauliflower to baking tray, arranging them in a single layer, making sure no pieces are touching. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden, then flip and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients in a large nonstick skillet until combined. Cook over medium-low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Add baked cauliflower to the sauce and toss until each piece is coated evenly. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onion and orange wedges if desired. Enjoy!
NOTES
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice if you can! It will make a big difference in flavor.
- Feel free to substitute monkfruit erythritol sweetener with any other sweetener of choice.
- For gluten-free, substitute wholewheat flour with an all purpose gluten-free flour blend.
