Sweet, salty and tangy with a chili kick, this kung pao-inspired cauliflower makes a great starter, side dish or rice-bowl topper. Utilizing our easy oven-frying method, we coat the cauliflower in a mixture of oil and cornstarch before roasting in a hot oven; this yields florets that are golden-crisp on the outside, yet tender within. A sauce of spicy chili crisp, punchy rice vinegar and umami-rich soy sauce, all rounded out by brown sugar, contributes a vibrant reddish hue and bright, layered flavor.

Exceptional! Right up there with Gobi Manchurian
We live Gobi Manchurian and 65 but it has lots of ingredients and this recipe is a great, simple alternative.

Delicious
Definitely keeping this recipe on file. Wife has to be careful with sodium. Substituted sambal olek for the chili crisp.
