Orange Glazed Cauliflower

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Chop the cauliflower and set aside. Zest the orange and slice it into rings, then quarter the rings, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 Tbsp cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and ¾ cup water. Mix until smooth.
3. Add the cauliflower and toss to coat.
4. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and one by one, coat each piece of cauliflower in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
5. ***You can also add the breadcrumbs to the bowl with the battered cauliflower and toss to coat.
6. Heat oil in a frying pan or wok. Once hot, add the cauliflower and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Fry the cauliflower in batches to not overflow the pan.
7. ***If you do not want to fry the cauliflower, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the batter and breaded cauliflower on a baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until crisp. Make sure to stir halfway through baking.
8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cauliflower from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
9. Once all cauliflower has been fried and removed from the pan, place the cauliflower in a larger bowl.
10. Add 2 Tbsp water, orange juice, orange zest, maple syrup, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil then remove from the heat.
11. Combine ¼ cup water with 2 Tbsp cornstarch and stir to combine. Add this to the saucepan and stir to combine. The sauce should start to thicken and will continue to thicken as it cools.
12. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower in the bowl. Toss to coat.
13. Serve the cauliflower on a bed of rice. Garnish with orange wedges and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
