Gordon Ramsay

Ingredients
1/2 Cauliflower, cut into florets, keep the tender leaves (if available)
1 tablespoon(s) Rice flour
2 tablespoon(s) Vegetable oil
1/2 Small red onion
2-3 cm Fresh ginger
2 Garlic cloves
2 tablespoon(s) Sesame oil
1 handful Coriander leaves

For the bang-bang sauce

Ingredients
2 tablespoon(s) Maple syrup or agave syrup
2 tablespoon(s) Hot sauce (Cholula or Sriracha chili sauce)
4 tablespoon(s) Sweet chili sauce
  • 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.
