Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

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

  2. 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. 3

    Coat the Cauliflower

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

  4. 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. 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. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

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

  7. 7

    Combine and Serve

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