I can’t get sufficient of this honey garlic sauce. It’s savory, spicy, and sweet, all on the similar time. And crunchy bites of cauliflower are the appropriate car for soaking up the thick sauce. The sauce is so versatile, too. I’ve used it to make Honey Garlic Shrimp which can be delicious, too.

The recipe above makes simply sufficient sauce to drizzle over a small head's value of cauliflower florets. If you're utilizing a medium or big head of cauliflower otherwise you have to coat the cauliflower totally in sauce, you must double the sauce.
If you make any modifications to the sauce (i.e. upload extra soy sauce or different liquids) you would possibly have to also upload extra cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Remember to dissolve any extra cornstarch in somewhat water earlier than including it.
