Korean Fried Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3/4 cup cold water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cornstarch and all-purpose flour.
3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the mixture and coat evenly.
4. Carefully place the coated cauliflower florets into the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the cold water and remaining cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the hot oil while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula until it thickens (about 1 minute). This will create a crispy coating on your fried cauliflower florets!
6. Once all of your cauliflower is fried and coated in the sauce, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce! Enjoy!
