Fritto Misto – Cauliflower Nuggets with Hot, Sweet Sauce

DSCF5492

I am starting to like this more that my usual go-to Chinese comfort food – Honey Garlic chicken. It gives the same feeling of satisfaction that comes with any food that is fried, crunchy, sweet and spicy.

Here is the recipe (by memory) – it comes from a video, which I can no longer find :/

Mix:

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

Cover your cauliflower florets with this mix. Heat an inch of oil.  Fry until golden. Make the sauce – heat some sesame oil, 3 tablespoons of chopped garlic, half a cup of soy sauce, sugar (by taste)  I used 1/4 of a cup, 1/3 cup rice vinegar, a tablespoon of sriracha. The original recipe calls for some cornstarch slurry to thicken. I just heated it until it became syrupy and skipped the slurry.

UPDATE: Found the recipe, it is from Buzzfeed’s Tasty channel:
