Cauliflower Tempura Food

CAULIFLOWER TEMPURA

Steps:

• Cook the cauliflower in boiling water for 2 mins. Tip into a colander, rinse under the cold tap, drain well and set aside.
• Put the flour in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk the egg yolks and 175ml iced water together, then whisk into the flour with the oil to make a smooth batter. In a separate, clean bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the batter.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large wok to 190C. Coat some of the cauliflower in the batter then use a slotted spoon to carefully lift into the hot oil. Deep-fry the cauliflower for 2-3 mins until golden and puffy. Drain on kitchen towel and continue with the rest in batches. Sprinkle the cauliflower with salt and serve with a bowl of aïoli or mayonnaise.

BAKED VEGETABLE TEMPURA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
• Combine panko and salt together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in a separate small bowl. Combine broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, winter squash, onion, and green beans together in a large bowl; add flour and toss to coat evenly.
• Shake excess flour from each vegetable piece, dip into beaten egg and press into panko mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any panko crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place vegetables onto prepared baking sheet; do not stack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add green onion. Serve sauce alongside vegetables.

TEMPURA CAULIFLOWER WITH SPICED YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour oil into a heavy-bottomed pot so that it's at least 2 inches deep. Insert deep fry thermometer. Set over medium high heat and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, prepare tempura batter. Aim to have the batter ready right as the oil comes to temperature so that it sits as little as possible.
• Combine the cake flour, salt, and cumin. Whisk together the egg yolks and ice cold water. Add the flour mixture and mix just until no streaks of flour remain, batter will still be lumpy. Do not overmix.
• Dip the cauliflower a few florets at a time into the batter and then immediately drop them into the hot oil. Let cook about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Watch them to make sure they don't burn. Use a slotted spoon or mesh strainer to transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining cauliflower.
• Serve immediately with dipping sauce or as desired.
