For the cauliflower

2. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Take half of the cauliflower florets, removing excess breading, and fry for 2 or 3 minutes. To book. Repeat the operation with the other half of the florets. Keep warm (see note).

For the spicy sesame sauce

3. In a frying pan, heat the sesame oil and sauté the garlic until lightly golden. Add the ginger and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in all other sauce ingredients, except water and starch.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch. Add the mixture to the sauce while whisking. Bring to a low boil, then remove from heat to allow to thicken.
