Sticky and Spicy Baked Cauliflower

Name: Sticky and Spicy Baked Cauliflower
Cuisine: Asian, Korean
Ingredients: 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour; ½ cup cornstarch; 2 tsp. baking powder; 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; 1 large head of cauliflower (about 2½ lb.), cut into large florets; ¼ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste); 3 Tbsp. soy sauce; 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup; 2 Tbsp. mirin; 2 tsp. unseasoned rice vinegar; Steamed rice, toasted sesame seeds, and thinly sliced scallions (for serving)

Instructions

Battering and oven-baking large cauliflower florets gives them a slightly crackly, just-rich-enough exterior that’s ideal for coating in a sticky-sweet gochujang glaze.
