Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with oil.
- Combine the cauliflower and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake until well coated. Add 1/2 cup of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, then reseal and shake until well coated.
- Heat the remaining 1/3 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cauliflower and fry, tossing to cook on all sides, until deep golden brown in spots, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fried cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet and bake until the cauliflower starts to get crispy, 10 to 15 minutes
- While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the sauce. Whisk together the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; the sauce should thicken slightly.
- Whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl until fully dissolved. Add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling sauce, reduce the heat to low and cook until thickened, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and add half of the sauce. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated, then add the remaining sauce and toss. Garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds and serve with rice.
- Place the rice and 2 1/4 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Put the pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice before serving.
EASY VIETNAMESE CAULIFLOWER
Slightly adapted from the cookbook titled Quick and Easy Vietnamese. This recipe doesn't take long to make. If you want to make it vegetarian, replace the fish sauce with soy sauce, but then you will loose the Vietnamese flavor.

VIETNAMESE CAULIFLOWER IN SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
This delicious, easy to make dish is adapted from "The Best of Vietnamese and Thai Cooking" by Mai Pham. The spicing here is very gentle, definately not like the bold flavors of Thai cuisine. However one can always add more spice if preferred. We like this dish because it's delicious and easy on the calories. However the sauce is minimal, I usually double the amount. I like this with French bread, and a salad or side diah.

This recipe, which is pretty easy, is from a cookbook titled Into the Vietnamese Kitchen. I may have adapted the recipe a bit I don't remember, but this recipe is very delicious and her cookbook quite good.
