ROAST MOMENT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the cauliflower pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp. Place the corn flour in a small bowl and mix in 50ml of water until a runny paste - this is called a slurry!
SIZZLING ORANGE Chicken
When the cauliflower is done, place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Chicken chunks and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden but not cooked through. Add the grated garlic and ginger and fry for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the slurry, the orange juice, the Soy-vinegar, ½ the chilli flakes (to taste), the sliced cabbage, and the roasted cauliflower. Mix until fully combined. Leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has slightly reduced and the cabbage is slightly wilted, shifting occasionally. Season to taste.
