Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

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

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in ice water until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Dip the cauliflower florets into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Kale

    While the cauliflower is frying, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss kale leaves with a bit of oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a serving plate, arrange the fried cauliflower, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Add the crispy kale as a garnish.
