Cauliflower250 g, chopped
All-Purpose Flour3 tbsp
Spring Onions4, sliced

Sugar1/2 tsp

Instructions

1
Toss the cauliflower in the flour-cornstarch-seasoning mix until every piece is dry-coated.
2
Deep-fry on high heat until golden and crisp; drain and keep hot — twice-frying for 20 seconds gives restaurant crunch.
3
In a wok, blaze the garlic, ginger and chilies for 30 seconds — the wok should be almost smoking.
4
Add the sauces, a splash of water and the slurry; boil until it coats the spoon.
5
Return the fried pieces, toss on the highest heat for a minute, and finish with the spring onion greens.

Chef's tip

Cornstarch slurry must boil fully or the sauce tastes raw.
