General Tso's Cauliflower

This General Tso's Cauliflower is the perfect weeknight dinner

The whole family LOVES this General Tso's cauliflower recipe. They love it when a vegetarian dish is reminiscent of the 'real deal' but when it's even more delicious.

For a long time, I wanted to find a vegetarian option other than tofu for this recipe, so I made a cauliflower version and bang the whole family is in love, it's so delicious! Now, this dish is super often on the menu.
