The tastiest Asian inspired cauliflower — so tender, packed with flavor, with a nice meaty bite. Great as an appetizer or a side.
Ingredients
- •1/2 cup soy sauce
- •1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- •2 tablespoons mirin
- •2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- •3 tablespoons brown sugar
- •1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- •1 teaspoon garlic powder
- •1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- •1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- •1 cauliflower head
- •Green onions, for garnish
- •Black and white sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2In a medium bowl mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and Chinese five-spice powder; stir well until incorporated. Set aside.
- 3Rinse and dry the head of cauliflower and carefully cut off the bottom stalk without cutting too much — you want the entire head intact. Peel away any green leaves and place on a baking sheet. Pour half of the sauce onto the cauliflower, letting it sink into the core, and brush more sauce on any pieces that aren't covered.
- 4Place the pan in the oven and roast for 50-60 minutes, depending on the size of the cauliflower, or until a knife cuts through the core. Continue to brush the cauliflower until all the sauce is used.
- 5Brown the cauliflower by turning the oven to broil and roasting 2-4 more minutes, watching carefully so it doesn't burn.
- 6Remove from oven and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
