Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Cauliflower

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.

2

Make the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger powder, and salt. Add water gradually and whisk until you get a smooth batter.

3

Coat the Cauliflower

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

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Cauliflower

Fry the cauliflower florets in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together the Korean chili miso paste, soy sauce, and honey or maple syrup.

7

Combine and Serve

Toss the fried cauliflower with the sauce until well coated. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
