Sticky Sesame Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower (10-oz)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/4 cup avocado oil
• 1/3 cup tamari
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl or jar, mix all the sauce ingredients together, then put it to the side.

2. 2

   In a big bowl, mix the cauliflower pieces with cornstarch and white pepper.

3. 3

   Put the avocado oil in a large skillet (10 inches or bigger) and heat it over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Fry the cauliflower pieces in batches so they're not too crowded in the pan. Cook each side until it's golden brown, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to take them out, and put them on a plate. Keep going until all the cauliflower is cooked. Save any cornstarch that's left in the bowl.

5. 5

   Drain off any remaining oil from the pan and wipe it clean.

6. 6

   Place the pan back over high heat, then pour in the sauce. Bring to a simmer, then whisk in the remaining cornstarch from the bowl until the sauce has thickened.

7. 7

   Stir in the fried cauliflower until well-coated.

8. 8

   To serve, garnish the dish with sesame seeds and green onions.
