Method
- Preheat the air-fryer to 200°C. Mix the cornflour , salt, 2 tbsp water and the oil in a bowl. Add the cauliflower and stir to coat. Add to the air-fryer and cook for 15 mins, tossing halfway through.
- Meanwhile, add the sweet and sour sauce ingredients and 60ml water to a pan and stir to combine. Simmer for 5-6 mins until thickened.
- Once the cauliflower is cooked and crispy, tip into a bowl and pour over the sauce. Stir to coat, then top with the shredded spring onion.
- Tip: If you don’t have an air-fryer, deep fry the cauliflower in a deep-fat fryer or pan of hot oil until crispy, then drain on kitchen paper before tossing with the sauce.
