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.
