    Can substitute tamari for soy sauce.

    I didn't love the texture of the coating- will play around with using different flours. The sauce is great

    Absolutely delicious! I little bit of fuss. My batter took additional water to get to the right consistency. Will definitely make again. I skipped the lettuce and served it with quinoa and the apple, celery, peanut slaw from Six Seeasons. Looking forward to the leftovers.

    This was delicious, although it was messy and there were quite a lot of steps, not really something to throw together quickly for a weeknight meal. I could imagine using the same technique for tofu. I didn’t have any problems getting the cauliflower to crisp up, even though I crowded it a bit.

    I used Thai "Kongsem ground chilli in oil" for the chilli paste and it was waaaay too spicy for us. I'm sure with a different chilli paste or a smaller amount it would have been very delicious!!

    This was good and feels like one of those dishes to win over meat eaters, meaning it's more about the sauce/batter than the veg. I prefer something lighter for everyday but it's a nice dish for a special occasion. Not all my cauliflower was crispy and I think I should have let it darkened more at the edges before removing from the oven.

    So delicious... the cauliflower is bursting with umami, contrasting nicely with the lettuce and spring onions (I skipped the rice for a lighter supper).

    Oh this is absolutely delicious and addictive. I added tofu to bulk it out. Definitely use a second tray.

    We really enjoyed this. Had one small head of cauliflower for 2. There was a lot of batter left over but it covered well. The lettuce and rice worked well. If making with a large head of cauliflower I might consider upping the volume of sauce by half. Will make this again. Used tamari and cornflour.

    This is addictively good. I don't tend to have rice flour, so substitute cornflour in the batter. For the best results you need to space the cauliflower out well on the oven trays to help it crisp (I am sometimes too lazy to use a second tray, which results in soggier cauliflower). When pushed for time I've skipped the batter and simply roasted the cauliflower with the sauce, which isn't in the same league as the recipe 'proper', but still satisfying.
