I’m always excited when I can present you with an easy spin on a restaurant favorite and today I have a good one for you! One of those special-occasion restaurant menu items that we all love to order when eating out but never considered making at home. Cauliflower Manchurian! This makes a great addition to the festival menu!

What is Cauliflower Manchurian?

Gobi Manchurian, or Cauliflower Manchurian, is a super popular take-out and restaurant menu item. This  Indo-Chinese dish is typically fried but I prefer to bake the florets in the oven. Baking gives cauliflower an amazing texture; you won’t miss the greasy, fried coating.

The crispy oven-baked florets are then tossed with a delicious sweet, spicy, and tangy Manchurian sauce! This easy vegan dish makes for the most delicious appetizer but it can also be served as a main  when paired with rice.

The ingredient list for making cauliflower manchurian is on the longer side but don’t be intimidated by that. Most ingredients are pantry staples and the preparation is so easy so it’s so worth it!

Manchurian sauce is a very versatile sauce. You can add some Crisped tofu,  veggie meatballs or vegan chicken to the sauce or add in some noodles.

Ingredients:

  • cauliflower – cut into same-size florets
  • batter: the dry ingredients are a mix of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and garlic powder. The baking powder will help the cauliflowers crisp up in the oven.
  • batter: as wet ingredients, we use a blend of water, oil, and soy sauce
  • a small amount of panko makes these bake up extra crispy
  • sauce: we create a typical Manchurian sauce base by sauteeing onion, garlic, ginger and chili
  • finely chopped bell pepper and celery add some texture to the Manchurian sauce
  •  for the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, Asian chili sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, black pepper, and sugar
  • a cornstarch slurry will help thicken up the sauce slightly and add a glossy shine.

Tips:

  • Make sure that the florets are not too small and all the florets are of a similar size so it bakes evenly in the oven.
  • Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper will make it less messy!
  • You can sub some of the cauliflower with firm tofu, rehydrated soy curls, or seitan for added protein.
