-
Start by preparing the bang bang sauce: Mix all ingredients in a bowl until the sauce is fully blended. Set aside.
-
Roll the cauliflower florets in rice flour until each piece is evenly covered.
-
Heat a wok pan over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the cauliflower and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. If using cauliflower leaves, add them now and continue to stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, peel the onion and slice it into rings. Peel the ginger and cut it into fine strips, then peel and finely chop or crush the garlic.
-
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from the oven and stir in the bang bang sauce.
-
Add the onion and sauce mixture to the wok pan and stir well until the cauliflower is evenly coated. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with coriander leaves, and serve with steamed rice and green vegetables.
