SPICY KOREAN CAULIFLOWER WINGS (VEGAN)

Cauliflower + Batter
 1 medium head cauliflower
 ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
 ½ cup water (you may not need to use all of it-- add a little at a time)
 ½ cup all-purpose flour or rice flour*
 ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
Maple Gochujang Glaze
 ¼ cup gochujang pepper paste**
 2 tbsp maple syrup
 1 tbsp sesame oil
 2 tbsp low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
 1 tbsp minced ginger
 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
 1 -2 tbsp water, to thin
1
Preheat oven to 450F (232C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove leaves from cauliflower and cut into bite-sized florets.
2
Whisk all batter ingredients together in a mixing bowl, adding water slowly at a time until it achieves the desired consistency-- the batter should be pourable, but thick enough to stick on the cauliflower. Dip each floret into the mixture and coat evenly, and shake to remove excess. Arrange florets on baking sheet (shouldn't be touching) and bake for 25 minutes, then remove from oven.
3
In the meantime, mix together sauce ingredients, adding as much water as necessary to reach a glaze consistency. Dip each baked floret into the sauce until coated, shake off excess, and place back onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramelized.

Remove from oven and let cool, then garnish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds and serve.
