From a Pot: Crispy Bang-Bang Cauliflower
Crispy Bang-Bang Cauliflower
Crispy bite size pieces of cauliflower tossed in homemade bang bang sauce.
This is my favorite way to eat cauliflower. Bite size pieces of cauliflower, tossed in breadcrumbs, baked until crispy and then topped with homemade sweet and spicy bang bang sauce. Serve the cauliflower pieces over some rice, noodles, or eat them as they are for a snack.
Bang bang sauce is made with some kind of mayo, honey, sweet chili sauce, garlic and sriracha.

- Cut the cauliflower into florets and place it into a large pot with water. Cook it on high heat for about 10 minutes, just until the water starts to boil. Then remove it from the heat and wait for it to cool a bit before use.
- In a large bowl combine milk, flour, garlic powder, paprika powder, salt and pepper. Add in the cauliflower and toss to coat.
- Add breadcrumbs to the bowl and transfer the cauliflower from flour and milk mixture to the breadcrumbs. Toss it well.
- In a large saucepan, heat up the oil until hot and fry the cauliflower. Flip it once, so that it’s fried on both sides. It will take about 10 minutes to fry all the pieces.
- Cover a large plate with a paper towel and put the baked cauliflower pieces onto it, so that it caches the excess oil from fraying.

Notes:
- Do I have to cook the cauliflower?
- No, I just like the taste better if I cook it a bit before fraying.
- Do I have to fry cauliflower in oil?
- No. You can bake it in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 F) for about 20 minutes, or bake it in an air fryer. I just prefer to deep-fry it in the oil because it does make a difference in taste and how crispy the cauliflower gets. But if you prefer to use less oil, both the oven and air fryer are a great option.
- Can I make this vegan?
- Of course, just use vegan milk instead of “regular” milk.
- Is the bang bang sauce spicy?
- The good thing about homemade bang bang sauce is that you can adjust the level of spice to your liking. So if you don’t like your food to be too spicy, just use less sriracha and sweet chili sauce.
- What kind of mayo do I use for bang bang sauce?
- You can use plain mayo, vegan mayo. I sometimes use sushi mayo.
