It’s almost weekend and its gonna be a cold one again, here in Northern BC. Another chance to\u00a0hibernate on the sofa with some vino<\/em> and watch The Crown<\/em> all weekend long!<\/p>\n

And then there’s Sunday brunch, of course! I That’s when my husband and I get those mid-morning cravings for sweet and tangy things. Like teriyaki chicken<\/em> or BBQ ribs<\/em>. Might have something to do with all that Saturday Vino.<\/p>\n

I still prefer\u00a0to believe that sleeping in causes that urgent need for sugar and salt, or shall I just say: For Take-Out Food.<\/p>\n

However, one of our resolutions for 2017 is to cut down on the meat and this is when I started to up my veggie game and look for vegetarian versions of take-out classics.<\/p>\n

And of course, the path leads me to last year’s veggie star, the cauliflower. Seriously, at this point, the question should be what you CANNOT do with this awesome vegetable. Well, one thing you maybe haven’t tried yet is General Tso’s Cauliflower. And you should.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Make a batch of Vegan General Tso Cauliflower to curb that craving for Chinese Take-Out!<\/h2>\n

Just imagine: Fried, tender cauliflower florets tossed in a thick and shiny, slightly spicy, sweet and tangy sauce.<\/p>\n

That’s right! \u00a0Tender cauliflower florets are breaded with rice flour and fried before getting tossed in this beautiful thick and shiny General Tso sauce. \u00a0When served right after tossing, the cauliflower is still crispy under the coating of sauce. Just imagine!<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Seriously, if you like your vegetables and are a fan of \u00a0Asian-y flavours in general and Chinese Take-Out in particular. If you try to sell vegetables to kids or convinced meat-eater. Or If you just like to mix things up in the kitchen once in a while, then this Vegan General Tso’s Cauliflower is the recipe for you.<\/p>\n

Can I bake this Vegan General Tso’s Cauliflower instead of frying it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yes, but then you might want to use a different coating to get the same crispy crunch! Preheat the oven to 400F.<\/p>\n

For the coating, measure out:<\/p>\n
