Ingredients

For the tempura

  • 2 pounds CAULILINI® baby cauliflower, cut into uniform pieces
  • 4 cups cooking oil of choice + 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cold carbonated water

For the tacos

  • 24 street taco-sized corn tortillas
  • ½ head green cabbage
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 bunch cilantro, de-stemmed and leaves chopped
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ jalapeno pepper, de-seeded and minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Tempura CAULILINI® baby cauliflower
  • 4 avocados, pitted and sliced
  • Veganaise or Vegan Sour Cream and Favorite Hot Sauce, mixed, to taste
  • 4 limes, sliced

The Method

For the tempura:

Combine the oils and heat in a large cooking pot to 350°F.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk in cold carbonated water to make a batter. It should be the same consistency as a thin pancake batter.

Dredge the CAULILINI® baby cauliflower in the tempura batter then carefully place into hot oil for a few minutes. Use tongs to turn it until it becomes golden and crisp. Continue using tongs to transfer to a paper towel-lined rack to drain. Season lightly with salt.

For the tacos:

Finely shred cabbage. Place tortillas in a 250°F oven for a few minutes to soften and warm.

Place juice of one lime, the tomatoes, cilantro, onion, jalapenos, and salt in bowl and mix.

Place warm tortilla on a plate and fill it with the CAULILINI® baby cauliflower tempura, tomato mixture, avocado slices and marinated cabbage.

Serve with creamy hot sauce and a slice of fresh lime.
