How to Prepare General Tso’s Cauliflower [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Begin by soaking quinoa in a medium pot for 10 minutes. Drain water and cover with fresh water. Place on the stove over medium heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and little rings have formed around the quinoa.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower by chopping it into small florets. Place on a baking sheet (no oil), and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes. After 10 minutes the cauliflower will be soft, but not fully cooked.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, in a wok or frying pan, sauté the chopped onion in canola oil. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, agave nectar, ginger, vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the arrowroot powder and stir to combine. The arrowroot powder will make the sauce thicken up to become almost gel-like. When this happens, add your slightly roasted cauliflower and stir until all pieces are covered in sauce.
- Divide the quinoa into three portions and spoon cauliflower/sauce mixture over top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and chopped green onion for added flavor.
