Ingredients

  • 1 small head Cauliflower florets
  • 3 tbs Olive oil
  • 2 tbs Water
  • tbs Corn flour / Corn starch
  • 1 cup Vegetable broth with salt
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce / Tamari sauce
  • 3 tbsp Brown sugar / Maple syrup
  • 2 tsp Chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp Tahini
  • 5-6 cloves Chopped garlic
  • 3 Tbs Rice vinegar

Instructions

  • Prepare the sweet and sour sauce by mixing vegetable broth, soya sauce or tamari sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, Tahini, chili flakes, and chopped garlic.
  • Wash and cut cauliflower into 1 ½ to 2-inch size florets.
  • In a pan add cauliflower oil and a splash of water. Stir and cover, let it cook on slow to medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Once cauliflower gets soften add half of the sauce and stir.
  • Let it simmer for further 3 to 4 minutes or until the sauce is well absorbed. Make sure the heat is medium to low. Do not burn the sauce.
  • Add cornflour into the remaining sauce and mix.
  • Now add the remaining sauce into cauliflower and cook until thickened.
  • Serve hot on rice and garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds.
  • ENJOY.

Notes

  • Use Tamari sauce instead of soya sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • I have updated the recipe and added rice vinegar in the sauce. In the video recipe, this step is missing.
  • Cook your rice before and serve the cauliflower hot right after cooking. They taste delicious when served freshly cooked.
