Gochujang Cauliflower Bowl

dairy free / vegan

Air fryer cauliflower tossed in a Korean gochujang BBQ sauce paired with green cabbage, edamame, and avocado over white rice!

One of my favorite ways to eat cauliflower is tossing it in my favorite breading, almost like a tempura, and then air-frying it until its super crispy, but soft on the inside. The best part though is making a delicious sauce to toss them all in, and this gochujang sauce is the perfect thing!

Gochujang sauce is like a Korean BBQ sauce. It’s tangy and sweet with a kick of spice to it. Pairing it with a slightly pickled cabbage, some ripe avocado and edamame make for a perfect bowl.

Here are the Ingredients for this Gochujang Cauliflower Bowl:

• Vegetables - Cauliflower, Green Cabbage, Avocado

• Protein - Edamame

• Seasonings - Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder

• Pantry - White Rice, Gochujang Paste, Rice Vinegar, Sesame Oil, Maple Syrup, Sesame Seeds, Flour

Gochujang Cauliflower Bowl

Air fryer cauliflower tossed in a Korean gochujang BBQ sauce paired with green cabbage, edamame, and avocado over white rice!

Ingredients

• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 1 cup cassava flour, gluten free flour, or all-purpose flour
• 3/4-1 cup water
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/3 cup edamame, salted
• 1/2 cup cooked white rice
• 1/2 cup shredded green cabbage
• 1/2 cup avocado
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Gochujang Sauce

• 2-3 tbsp gochujang paste
• 1½ tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Whisk together the flour, water, and garlic powder. Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter so they are completely coated. Place in in the air fryer (making sure not to overcrowd). Air fry at 400 F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
2. To make the Gochujang Sauce, combine the listed ingredients. Once the cauliflower is cooked, coat in the Gochujang Sauce.
3. To make the Slaw, mix the green cabbage with the rice vinegar, salt and pepper.
4. To assemble the bowl, add the white rice, cabbage, avocado, edamame, and gochujang cauliflower. Top with sesame seeds and serve!

Notes

You can also use store-bought Gochujang BBQ Sauce instead of making your own to coat the cauliflower.
