Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 medium Bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch

Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and wash thoroughly.
In a mixing bowl, combine 0.5 cup rice flour, 0.5 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder. Gradually add 1 cup of water to make a smooth batter.
Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's well-coated, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
In another large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped 4 cloves of garlic and sauté until golden brown.
Add 2 stalks of chopped green onion (reserve some for garnish) and 1 diced bell pepper, stir-frying for about 3 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Mix 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce, 2 tablespoons chili sauce, and 2 tablespoons ketchup in a bowl.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons cornstarch in 0.5 cup water to make a slurry.
Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
Add the fried cauliflower florets to the sauce, tossing to coat them evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is coated well with the sauce.
Garnish with reserved green onions and serve immediately while hot.
