Ingredients

1cuporange juice(from 3 oranges)
2tablespoonslight brown sugar
2tablespoonsreduced-sodium soy sauce
1tablespooncornstarchplus ¾ cup, divided
1tablespoonrice vinegar

⅛teaspoonsaltplus ¼ teaspoon, divided
1cupcoldwater, plus more as needed
¾cupall-purpose flour
½teaspoonbaking powder
3cupscanola oil
1medium headcauliflower, cut into 1½-inch florets (about 8 cups)
Thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Directions
Whisk 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons each brown sugar and soy sauce, 1 tablespoon each cornstarch, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil, 1 teaspoon ginger, the grated garlic and ⅛ teaspoon salt together in a medium saucepan until the cornstarch is dissolved. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Cover and set aside.
Whisk 1 cup water, ¾ cup flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder and the remaining ¾ cup cornstarch together in a large bowl. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter has the consistency of thin paint.
Place 3 cups oil in a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy-bottomed high-sided skillet; clip on a candy or deep-fry thermometer. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 375°F. Working in 3 batches, add cauliflower florets to the batter, turning to coat using tongs or a fork. Remove from the batter, letting excess drip back into the bowl; transfer to the hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a spider or slotted spoon. Allow the oil to return to 375°F between batches. Sprinkle the fried cauliflower with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
Reheat the reserved orange sauce over medium heat, if needed. Toss the warm sauce and fried cauliflower in a large bowl until coated; transfer to a large plate. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
