A take off on Bang Bang Chicken made with Cauliflower instead. It is bang bang good!!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup egg whites (about 3 large eggs)
- 1 head cauliflower
- Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Green onion, sliced green and white parts
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, plus more as needed
Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/8 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or to your liking)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or cane sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix all of your sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Divide your cauliflower into medium sized florets and then slice in half to create a flat side.
- Set up 3 dipping dishes. Place the cornstarch in the first one. The egg whites in the second. (no need to whip) Mix salt, pepper and garlic powder into your Panko breadcrumbs for the third one.
- Dip your florets one by one into the cornstarch, and shake off excess. Then dip into egg whites, and then coat with Panko mixture. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Continue until all florets are coated.
- Using a large heavy frying pan, heat the coconut oil and place as many florets as will fit in the pan with turning room. (I suggest using a splatter screen and fan while frying) Turn with tongs making sure all sides are browned. Place cooked cauliflower on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Continue to fry in batches until all of the cauliflower is done.
- Plate the cauliflower and sprinkle with the green onion slices. Pass the sauce on the side and serve immediately. (You can reheat or keep warm in the oven if needed)
