  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tsp salt and pepper each

Kung Pao Sauce:

  • 3 dried red chilies
  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 2 scallion stalks – cut 1 inch long
  • 1 bell pepper – diced
  • 1 inch ginger – minced
  • 4 cloves garlic – minced
  • 1/4 cup sauce soy
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame seed oil
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water

Instructions

Cauliflower:

  1. Add cauliflower florets to a baking sheet and drizzle on the soy sauce, corn starch + salt and pepper. Toss and mix everything together, making sure it’s all coated and place it in the oven to roast at 380F for 20 mins.

Kung Pao Sauce:

  1. Into a skillet, drizzle in a little bit of oil and add the dried red chilies and peanuts. Cook for 2 mins and continue to add in the scallions, bell peppers + ginger and garlic. Cook for 1-2 mins.
  2. Next add in the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, toasted sesame seed oil and rice wine vinegar. Bring this to a low simmer and continue to keep heat on low and add in the cornstarch slurry. The sauce will thicken up and continue to stir and keep on low heat.
  3. Once the cauliflower is done, add it into the pan with the sauce and gently toss everything up together. Serve with rice and garnish with scallions and extra peanuts. Enjoy!
