Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 280 g cauliflower
  • 2 cup rice
  • 1½ tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 123 g chopped onions
  • ½ whole green capsicum
  • ½ whole red capsicum
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tsp hot sauce or red chili sauce
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, add a teaspoon of salt and boiling water, and let sit while prepping.
  • 1 tsp salt
  • boiling hot water
Cook the rice as usual in a rice cooker and spread on a tray to cool completely; cold or leftover rice is best.
Drain the cauliflower and let the excess water drip off.
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp hot sauce or red chili sauce
  • salt
  • ¼ tsp coarsely crushed black pepper
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp corn flour or cornstarch
Add soy sauce, hot sauce, a pinch of salt, crushed black pepper, flour, corn flour and grated ginger and garlic; mix until each floret is coated thinly.
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 1 tsp finely grated garlic
  • oil
Heat oil beforehand. Deep fry (or shallow fry) the cauliflower over medium heat in a single layer, in batches, until golden brown; crowding makes them stick, go soggy and soak up oil.
  • 1 tbsp oil
Pour off most of the oil, leaving a tablespoon in the wok; add butter, then garlic not chopped too fine, and fry on low heat until golden brown.
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • salt
Add a teaspoon of grated ginger and chopped onions and raise to medium; add chopped red and green capsicum and a pinch of salt and fry on medium-high a minute or two without letting them go mushy.
  • black pepper
Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup and hot sauce, then the fried cauliflower and a little black pepper.
Sauce and the Manchurian
  • oil
  • salt
  • green onions
  • soy sauce
Add the rice with a little oil, a tiny pinch of salt and green onions; stir on medium-high, adjust soy sauce, and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with green onions.
