The taste was great and better than when I made it the first time, which was kind of a disaster because the fried Gobi fell apart by the time it was in the sauce :( A lesson well learned I knew what had gone wrong and made the necessary changes. And this time I even made up the recipe for the sauce.
½ head Cauliflower cut into florets
1 Green beller pepper cubed or thinly sliced
1 Onion cubed or sliced
2-3 Green chillies slit (vary to suit your taste)
½ cup Corn flour
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Red Chilli sauce
1 tsp Ketchup
1 tsp Vinegar
A Pinch Ajinomoto (Chinese salt)
½ tsp White pepper powder
Salt to taste
Oil for frying plus 2-3 tbsp
In a small bowl, mix the light and dark soy sauces, chilli sauce, ketchup and vinegar to make one sauce. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add green chillies and fry for a minute. Then add onions and sauté till half done. Add the bell pepper and sauté till both onions and bell pepper are cooked through. Add the fried florets and salt. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the florets and veggies and toss to coat completely. Sprinkle white pepper and ajino moto. Toss well to combine. Taste and season accordingly. Garnish with chopped coriander and/or chopped scallions. Serve hot.
This is one of the ultimate comfort foods no matter what, so I'm sending this over to Meeta's "Monthly Mingle: Comfort Foods" at What's For Lunch Honey?
