Hello Vegan Lovers, Happy weekend. today is sunday, holiday and of course family day, because on sunday our family can gather together. I see a challenge in the vegan community with cauliflower as the main ingredient, coincidentally today I will cook cauliflower nuggets with lemongrass sauce.
Cauliflower has a beautiful shape with a yellowish white color, the flower arrangement is dense with the texture of the flowers being fragile and easily separated from the flower stalk, the taste of fresh cauliflower with a slight sweet taste, usually used as a vegetable for a side dish. its slightly sweet taste is also very delicious combined with pineapple as juice.
Usually cauliflower is cooked by sautéing, rolling and frying in flour. today we are going to make cauliflower nuggets with lemongrass sauce.
ingredients for making cauliflower nuggets
cauliflower 1/2 kilogram (after removing the stalk, there are 300 grams of cauliflower)
water 1 L
salt 1 tablespoon
Add 1 tablespoon of salt to 1 liter of water.
Cut small flowers into smaller pieces. put the cauliflower pieces into the salt water (to remove caterpillars and small animals hiding among the cauliflower), leave the cauliflower in the salt water.
Don't forget to remove the brown part.
Spices and ingredients for frying :
wheat flour 8 tablespoons
breadcrumbs 100 grams
garlic 5 cloves
candlenut 2 pieces
salt 1/2 tablespoon
ground pepper to taste
water to taste
cooking oil 1/2 kilogram
How to make :
puree salt, garlic and candlenut.
Add ground spices and pepper powder into the flour.
Add water little by little so that the dough is not too runny.
This is flour dough that has been seasoned.
After the flour dough is finished, it's time to put the cauliflower pieces into the flour mixture.
After the pieces of cauliflower are well mixed with the flour mixture, then put the pieces of cauliflower into the breadcrumbs.
This is cauliflower that has been given breadcrumbs.
Time to fry, heat up the cooking oil.
Put the cauliflower in hot oil until brown, don't forget to turn it over. Just fry for a while, because breadcrumbs dry quickly when fried.
fry the cauliflower until it runs out, don't forget to throw away the remaining flour in the first fry, so that the next fry are not exposed to scorched flour.
This is our cauliflower nuggets.
let's make the sauce
prepare the ingredients for the sauce, that is:
lemongrass 10 stalks (take the white one) red onion 5 cloves
garlic 5 cloves
cayenne pepper 50 grams
tomatoes 2 pieces
water 50 mL
sweet soy sauce 10 tablespoons (actually it is more delicious when using chili sauce/tomato sauce, but my son wants soy sauce)
How : wash the lemongrass, red onion, garlic, cayenne pepper and tomatoes.
After washing,cut the lemongrass,red onion, garlic and tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Put the pieces of lemongrass, red onion, garlic, cayenne pepper and tomatoes into the hot oil, stir fry.
Add water, stir well.
After the water is reduced, add sweet soy sauce.
This is lemongrass sauce with a combination of sweet soy sauce.
let's serve cauliflower nuggets with lemongrass sauce, a combination of sweet soy sauce.
Cauliflower nuggets can be used as a nutritious snack because they are rich in fiber and also use natural ingredients without artificial seasoning.
Good luck,stay healthy and keep the spirit. All the photos I take using the Iphone 7 plus camera.
