General Tso's Cauliflower with Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 450°F and start the rice according to the package. Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets.

2. 2

   Toss the florets with 2 tbsp oil, then with 1/3 cup cornstarch and a pinch of salt until coated. Spread on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

3. 3

   Roast 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and crisp at the edges.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, brown sugar, the remaining cornstarch and 1/3 cup water. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet, cook minced garlic and ginger 30 seconds, then add the sauce and simmer 1-2 minutes until glossy.

5. 5

   Toss the roasted cauliflower in the sauce right before serving so it stays crisp. Add red pepper flakes for heat.

6. 6

   Serve over rice topped with sliced green onions.
