Instructions

Cauliflower:

  • Blend all ingredients together until a nice batter is formed (shouldn't be too thick: think waffle batter consistency).
  • While you are doing this, heat up a skillet with 1/2 c. oil on medium/high heat. Make sure it has been properly heated.
  • Dip each small floret into the batter and make sure each piece is entirely covered.
  • Fry in oil until completely browned. * or Bake at 425 degrees F / 220ºc for 25 to 30 minutes. Add more flour to the batter to make it thick if needed
  • Allow to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Orange Sauce:

  • In a clean skillet, heat oil and garlic for 1 minute.
  • Add green onions, zest and juice. Cook another 1 minute.
  • Add soy sauce and vinegar and bring to a boil. Toss in crispy cauliflower into the skillet and coat thoroughly. Keep on the pan briefly.
  • Place on top of rice.

Orange Sauce Drizzle:

  • In that same skillet, throw in the remainder ingredients and bring to a boil for just 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Drizzle over orange cauliflower and rice.
  • Garnish with green scallions, orange zest, and sesame seeds.
