Instructions
Make New Soul Buffalo Cauliflower- In a dutch oven or large heavy bottom sauce pot add oil and heat until 350 degrees.
- Then cut your cauliflower into small to medium pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne together. Add in the sparkling water a little at a time until the batter is not too thick or thin. It should coat the back of a spoon without excess dripping.
- Working with a few pieces at a time dip the cauliflower into the tempura batter tossing to coat evenly. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and batter.
- While working in batches fry the cauliflower until the pieces are evenly golden brown, about 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the cauliflower with a spider and drain on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet.
- Make the Vegan Buffalo Sauce: In a medium wok over medium heat, melt the non-dairy butter then add the hot sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and agave and mix.
- Add the fried cauliflower to the sauce in the wok and gently toss to coat evenly. Garnish the New Soul Buffalo Cauliflower with parsley.
- Serve the cauliflower right away with Vegan Ranch Dressing for dipping and carrots and celery on the side.
- In a medium mixing bowl mix together the vegan mayo, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, agave, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Serve this as a dipping sauce for the New Soul Buffalo Cauliflower.
