cauliflower tempura

These air fryer Teriyaki Cauliflower bites are so deliciously crispy.

Teriyaki Cauliflower

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

water

cauliflower

tbsp all-purpose flour

tsp kosher salt

garlic powder

panko

olive oil spray

teriyaki sauce

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch.

Slowly pour in ice water, gently whisking to combine. Do not overmix - a few lumps are fine.

Make the Air Fryer Tempura Batter

Add panko to a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Pro tip: uniform sizes will cook more evenly.

In a medium mixing bowl combine 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp garlic powder.

Toss cauliflower in the flour mixture, doing your best to coat all florets evenly.

Working in batches, drop 4-7 florets at a time in the tempura batter.

Using a fork, chopstick, or skewer, pierce a piece of cauilflower and dredge it through the tempura batter.

Shake off excess batter and transfer cauliflower to the bowl with panko. Repeat with other florets in this batch.

Gently toss cauliflower in the panko bowl until tempura batter is lightly coated. Transfer to a plate.

Repeat above process with remaining cauliflower.

Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 F.

Heavily spray breaded cauliflower with olive oil cooking spray. Allow everything to sit for 1 minute.

Transfer cauliflower to air fryer and cook at 400 F for 6 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed.

Making Cauliflower Tempura

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, this cauliflower tempura is served with the creamiest ginger and cilantro sauce!

Cauliflower Tempura with Ginger Cream

cauliflower florets ((try to make florets of about the same size))

flour

tsp salt

curry powder

tsp baking powder

chilled soda water

oil (for frying)

raw cashews (soaked overnight*)

ginger

lime juice

garlic

tbsp chopped cilantro

Start by preparing the ginger sauce: drain the cashews and transfer them to a high-speed blender. Add the water, fresh ginger, lime juice, garlic, salt, and cilantro. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the saltiness to your liking. Feel free to add more cilantro or ginger to taste and blend again.

Ginger Sauce

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets and boil for about 4 minutes or until the cauliflower is almost cooked. Do not overcook.

Drain and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking more and in order to cool it.

Heat about 2 cups of oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. In the meantime, prepare the tempura batter.

Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, curry powder, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Pour in the chilled soda water and whisk to combine, do not overmix. It&#39;s okay if there are some lumps.

Test the oil by dipping a wooden spoon or chopsticks into it. If bubbles appear around it, the oil is hot enough.

Working with one cauliflower floret at a time, dip it into the tempura batter (using a pair of chopsticks or a fork) and slightly shake it to remove the excess batter. Immediately transfer to the oil and repeat with 3-4 more florets. Fry for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove the cauliflower tempura from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer it to a  plate lined with a kitchen paper towel to remove the excess oil.

Repeat with the remaining cauliflower florets, frying no more than 4-5 at a time.

Serve immediately with the ginger sauce on the side! Or you can pour some of the ginger sauce into a deep plate and top with the cauliflower tempura. Cauliflower tempura just stays crispy for a few minutes, so it&#39;s best served immediately.
