INSTRUCTIONS :

​

​​​

  • Preheat the oven to 180ËšC.

​

  • Put the florets in a large mixing bowl, adding 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp dark soy sauce. Mix well, making sure each cauliflower floret is coated evenly.

​

  • Place the cauliflower on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the cauliflower is golden and tender. To test the tenderness, poke a floret with a fork to see if it’s tender all the way through.

​

  • Combine all the ingredients for the Kung Pao sauce in a bowl and mix well.

​

  • Heat Danwood Smoked Oil® in large, non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, dried chilli, and spring onion and fry for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavours.

​

  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the cauliflower florets. Give the Kung Pao sauce a quick stir and add this to the pan.

​

  • Quickly stir-fry everything together for a couple of minutes until each floret is evenly coated.

​

  • Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and toss for another minute, then finally garnish with the spring onion and serve hot with either rice or noodles.

​

* Regular soy sauce is made with fermented wheat.

 

* Use gluten-free soy sauce if you are gluten intolerant.
