Tips and tricks
Always make sure the oil is hot when frying. Only this way you will get the best results.
Baked cauliflower: you can make a oven version. For this preheat oven to 425°F and after marinating the cauliflower use a bit oil on top, but honestly the result will be different.
It will work but the result will not be as crispy and texture perfect which you only can reach with frying.
Can I made these in a air fryer? I haven’t tried that because I don’t own an air fryer myself, but I would say why not. I heard that all the time you can achieve crispy results with an air fryer as well. Let me know how it goes, can’t wait for your feedback guys.
Can I freeze this? I wouldn’t recommend it, because it will get mushy and you’ve never get the texture right.
But instead you can make them ahead and store them in the fridge for around 3 days covered and fry later.

I made these this evening and the flavour and bang bang sauce is delicious, however when I went to cook the cauliflower all of the batter came off. Not sure what I did wrong.
Hi Michelle! I guess this might happen when the cauliflower isn’t dry enough. Please use always dry cauliflower florets after washing and cleaning your cauliflower. This makes sure the batter will hold properly. Also the oil must be really hot when frying.
Have you tried it in an air frye7 7r
Hi Leah! Please see my suggestions for an air fryer version in my recipe. Let me know how it goes. Hope that helps.
