Ingredients
- 1 cup of oil
- 200g of tempura batter mix
- 100ml of water
- 1 cauliflower, cut into bitesizes
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tbsp of sugar
- 2 tbsp of minced garlic
- Pepper, to taste
- Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Corn slurry (made by mixing 1 tbsp of flour and 2 tbsp of water)
- Roasted white sesame seeds, to garnish
- Miso hot sauce
Method
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan. While waiting for the oil to heat, mix 200g of tempura batter mix with 100ml water. Add water gradually and stir. We are looking for a thick pancake batter consistency. You can also add some salt to taste.
- Add cauliflower florets into the batter. Make sure that each piece is coated evenly.
- When the oil in the pan is hot, carefully add the cauliflower and batter mixture into the pan. Allow the cauliflower to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden. Remove and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing in soy sauce, sugar, garlic and pepper. You can also add some honey or maple syrup to taste here.
- Add the mixture to a saucepan and cook on low heat. Once the mixture is bubbling, add in corn slurry to thicken. Turn off the fire immediately to avoid overcooking the glaze.
- Immediately pour the glaze over the cauliflower. Toss to make sure each piece is coated.
- Garnish with roasted sesame seeds and some spring onions. Dip into miso hot sauce for that extra kick!
