Cauliflower used to be an ingredient that I would love to eat more often but don’t know how to cook and ended up avoiding buying. However, ever since I discovered this sweet and sour cauliflowers recipe, now I grab cauliflower from the grocery store without having to hesitate and can’t wait to cook it.

If you think you don’t like cauliflower, this recipe may help change your mind.

I want to start with the sauce! While there are many different ways to make sweet and sour sauce, this one is my favorite. 

You can easily make at home and it goes great with other dishes as well. 

No need to go out and get preserved pineapple juice. With this recipe, I will show you how to use ketchup that’s already in your pantry to make the sauce.

All you have to do is whisking grated garlic, ginger, ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and sesame oil together in a bowl and bring to a simmer over medium-low or low heat.

Sometimes, I like to make extra sauce, and store it in the fridge to use it later for other dishes.

Like how you would cook the sweet and sour chicken, we’ll need to coat the cauliflower florets with a batter and then deep fry.

Personally, I prefer a thin batter over a thick batter. A thin batter allows me to still see the shape of the cauliflower after deep-frying and contains less carbs.

After coating the deep-fried cauliflower florets well with the sweet and sauce sauce, we’ll be almost done.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley helps to add contrasting color and a touch of fresh taste to the dish. 

I find fresh parsley goes really well with this dish, if you don’t have it at hand or are simply not a fan of it, green onion works great as well.

I hope you enjoy making Sweet and Sour Cauliflower. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
