ingredients

For Breaded Cauliflower:

2 qt (1.9L) Vegetable Oil (for Frying)

½ head Cauliflower, separated into bite-size florets 

1 pouch Kikkoman® Karaage

⅓ cup Water

 

For Sriracha Buffalo Sauce:

1 Tbsp Kikkoman® Sriracha Sauce

1 Tbsp Kikkoman® Sweet Chili Sauce

2 Tbsp Butter (melted)

 

Topping:

2 Tbsp Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing

 

Garnishes (optional):

3 leaves of lettuce 

2 Large Carrots, shaved into thin strips

2 Large Stalks Celery, shaved into thin strips (celery leaves reserved)

directions

  1. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed 4 quart pot to 350°F (175°C). If using a pot, fill the pot with at least 3 inches of oil. 
  2. While the oil is heating, whisk together the Kikkoman® Karaage coating mix and water in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. In a small bowl, make the Sriracha Buffalo Sauce by whisking together the Kikkoman® Sriracha Sauce, Kikkoman® Sweet Chili Sauce, and melted butter. Set aside. 
  4. Toss the cauliflower in the mixture of Kikkoman® Karaage coating mix and water. It’s okay if some parts are not fully coated.
  5. If not using an oil thermometer, check if the oil is hot enough by placing a drop of batter in the oil; the batter should sizzle quickly up to the surface. Fry the battered cauliflower for 3.5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove cauliflower from the fryer with tongs or a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel lined plate to allow the excess oil to drain off. 
  6. In a large bowl, toss the fried cauliflower with the Sriracha Buffalo Sauce.
  7. Plate cauliflower and top with a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing. 

Optional: Serve cauliflower on a bed of lettuce, shaved carrots, shaved celery stalks, and celery leaves.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
