Best Deep Fried Cauliflower And Lemon Sauce Recipes

CRISPY FRIED HONEY LEMON GLAZED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Being by setting up a dredging station. First, lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
• Next, add the panko bread crumbs to a small bowl and set aside.
• Lastly, add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl, add the flour, and toss to coat. Set aside.
• To prepare the sauce, add all of the ingredients to the sauce pan at once, except the corn starch. Place the cornstarch in a small bowl, add one tablespoon of water, and still until the cornstarch has dissolved. Add to the sauce pan and whisk to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a slight simmer and allow to thicken while you fry the cauliflower.
• Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 375 degrees. (You can also use a deep fryer if you have one.)
• Coat each cauliflower floret in the egg and then coat with the panko bread crumbs.
• Carefully place the panko-coated cauliflower florets into the hot oil. Fry each piece until golden brown - about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and allow to drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Once all of the pieces are fried, increase the temperature of the oil to 385 degrees and re-fry the nuggets of cauliflower for another 30-60 seconds. This will provide a deeper colour and a better crunch. This step is completely optional!
• Lastly, plate the cauliflower and spoon the thick, hot sauce over top. Serve immediately.
