Ingredients
Method
Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine plain flour, cornflour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Slowly add the cold water while mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Prepare the Cauliflower
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a wok or frying pan to 175°C.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well coated.
Fry
- Shallow fry the cauliflower for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove and place on kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
Make the Bang Bang Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together Japanese mayonnaise, sriracha, sweet chilli sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Serve
- Arrange the crispy cauliflower on a serving plate.
- Sprinkle with chopped scallion and shichimi togarashi.
- Serve with the bang bang sauce on the side.
Notes
- Cold water helps create a lighter crisp batter.
- Fry in batches to keep the oil temperature stable.
- Best served immediately while crispy.
