Cut 1 head of cauliflower into medium-sized florets.

Strain the cauliflower and cool it completely.

In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp corn flour, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper.

Gradually pour water into the dry ingredients to make a batter that is not too runny or too thick.

Add the cooled cauliflower to the batter and mix until the florets are completely coated.

Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.

Deep fry the cauliflower in batches until they turn a nice golden brown color, then remove them from the oil and set aside.

In a wok, add 3 tbsp of oil, then add 2 tbsp minced garlic and 1 finely chopped large onion. Saute for about 2 minutes.

Add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp chili flakes, and mix well.

Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp vinegar, and 3 tbsp tomato ketchup, along with a little bit of water, and mix everything well.

Make a corn flour slurry by mixing 1 tsp corn flour with enough water until dissolved, then pour it into the sauce and mix well.

Add the fried cauliflower to the sauce and coat them nicely.

Turn off the stove and add 2 tbsp honey, adjusting sweetness to taste.

Garnish with spring onions and mix well.
