INSTRUCTIONS
1. MAKE THE SAUCE: In a medium pot,
stir together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey and water. Heat the sauce over
low heat until it barely simmers. Keep warm.
2.
MAKE
THE CAULIFLOWER NUGGETS: Pour 2 to 3 inches of oil into a large sauté pan. Heat
the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers on the surface and reads about
350°F on a thermometer. (Or you can test the oil with a piece of cauliflower:
If it bubbles and stays at the surface after you drop it in the oil, then
you’re good to go.)
3.
Line
a baking sheet with a few layers of paper towels. Whisk the eggs in a large,
shallow bowl.
4.
In
another large, shallow bowl, whisk the flour with the salt, black pepper and
cayenne.
5. Working
with a few pieces at a time, dip the cauliflower florets into the egg until
they are well coated. Then dip them into the flour mixture and toss well to
coat. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
6.
Working
in batches, fry the cauliflower until the pieces are evenly golden brown, 6 to
9 minutes. Remove the cauliflower with a slotted spoon and drain on the
prepared paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
7. In
a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the sauce and toss until well coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chives.
