Ingredients

  • 1/2 cauliflower, leaves removed (about 250g)

  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder

  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

  • 1 cube red fermented bean curd

  • 1 tbsp brandy

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 220C fan-forced with large cast-iron pan for at least 20 minutes.
  • Cut cauliflower into florets and stem pieces, then drizzle lightly with vegetable oil plus salt and pepper.
  • Add to hot cast-iron pan with as much of the cut sides down as possible, then roast for 8-12 minutes, stir gently, then another 5-8 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Combine all remaining ingredients together for the sauce, mixing with stick blender until smooth.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and toss with two-thirds of the sauce before roasting for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining sauce, then roast for another 2-4 minutes until sticky, watching closely to ensure it doesn’t burn.
