Method

Preparing the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Clean and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water and mix until you get a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the battered cauliflower in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Add diced onion and bell pepper to the pan. Cook until they are slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Sauce

    Stir in soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and chili sauce. Mix well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 8

    Combine Cauliflower and Sauce

    Add the fried cauliflower to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

  5. 9

    Garnish

    Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
