This vegan, sticky sesame cauliflower recipe is so delicious that it will make you forget about ordering that Chinese takeaway you craved.

---

I had a cauliflower head sitting in my fridge and was wondering how could I use it whilst also settling my cravings for a Chinese takeaway.

So I decided to do something different than a usual pasta dish, curry or soup. I decided to turn this cauliflower into heavenly sweet and sour, sticky vegan cauliflower wings.

My sister asked me multiple times if I just served her chicken wings when I brought the dish to the table. (For reference, she is vegan as well). I have to admit, the dish does look quite ‘realistic’. But the taste is so good! I did have a feeling like It tasted like a restaurant dish but better and healthier.

Let’s see what are the key ingredients of this vegan sticky sesame cauliflower recipe;

KEY INGREDIENTS – Sticky sesame cauliflower

• Cauliflower -The best size of cauliflower for this recipe would be a medium-sized one. I had a large head and I didn’t have enough batter to coat all the cauliflower florets. I did bake the rest without the batter though and just coated it in the sauce later on.

• Soya sauce – In case you are looking for gluten-free options, feel free to use Tamari instead of soya sauce. Also, to lower the sodium intake, use low-sodium soya sauce.

• Maple syrup – Maple syrup is what gives this vegan sticky sesame cauliflower dish that juicy, sweet taste. I also tested agave nectar instead so both work really well.

• Rice vinegar – Rice vinegar is needed as much as maple syrup. It’s the ‘sour part’ of the recipe. I use rice vinegar quite often in my dishes but in case you are not familiar with it, you can find it either in Asian stores or in the Asian section of regular supermarkets.

• Sesame oil and sesame seeds – Preferably the best choice of sesame oil for this vegan sticky sesame cauliflower recipe would be toasted sesame oil. In case you are not able to get one on hand, standard sesame oil will work as well.

STORING INSTRUCTIONS

I would highly recommend having this vegan sticky cauliflower straight away, served hot or warm. You can store it in the fridge but the taste will differ from having it freshly prepared. The sauce doesn’t taste the best once refrigerated and the cauliflower becomes very chewy.

In case you are going to store it anyway, place it in an airtight container and consume it the next day.
