Who doesn’t love that sweet and tangy crunch of General Tso’s takeout? No one. What’s not to love is all the fat and oil in a typical General Tso recipe. This here my friends, is a fat-free vegan version that will knock your socks off. Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients

Chik'n Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (any kind)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 head cauliflower florets
  • 2 cup bread crumbs

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch thumb of ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sriracha

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Take your flour and water and mix until smooth. The mixture should be about the consistency of pancake batter.
  3. Next dip your cauliflower one by one in the flour batter and tap off the excess. Then dip into bread crumbs until evenly coated.
  4. Continue this process until all the cauliflower is covered.
  5. Place all the cauliflower bites on a sheet of parchment paper or non stick baking pan and bake at 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes.
  6. While the cauliflower is baking we can make the sauce.
  7. Prep and measure all of your sauce ingredients and then mix well together in a bowl and set aside.
  8. Take the cauliflower out of the oven and dip them one by one in the General Tso’s sauce and place back on the baking tray. Do this process until all the cauliflower are covered in the sauce.
  9. Place back in oven for 15 minutes on 450°F (230°C).
  10. Serve over rice with vegetables and garnish with sesame seeds and a extra drizzle of sauce on top.
