Sesame Cauliflower

Hey everybody! Time to show you a powerful meat-substitute: cauliflower! Never guessed that one, right?

When I was a kid, on the rare times my mom didn't make dinner, we'd get Chinese takeout. Number one on my list was Sesame Chicken. It was yummy, had a sticky sweet sauce, and best of all: it was covered in sesames, which I also love on bagels.


For Sesame Cauliflower, you're going to need:
  • Cauliflower chopped into nice bite sized pieces
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Ginger (chopped root or in powder)
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Vinegar (I used cider vinegar)
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste (I didn't have any and it turned out fine)
  • Green onions (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (also optional, but it's the best part)
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Corn starch
  • Water
#1: Make the sauce. Cook the chopped onion (and some green onions if you have some) in a frying pan until onions are transparent. Add garlic and ginger, cook for another minute. Add BBQ sauce, cook for another minute. Add chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and tomato paste. When everything is hot and mixed together it's done.

#2. Make the paste: add the flour, the starch, and some salt. Add some water until the paste is thick. Coat the cauliflowers with the paste.

#3. Fry the cauliflowers until they are golden brown. Let them dry on a paper towel. Mix them with the sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
