Separate the cauliflower into small florets, boil in salted water for 4 minutes, and drain.
Make a thick coating batter with the wheat flour, cornstarch, chili powder, half the salt, and water.
Coat the cauliflower in the batter and fry in 175°C oil for 5-6 minutes, until golden.
Finely chop the garlic, ginger, onion, and red pepper.
Stir-fry the aromatics in a pan with 1 tablespoon of the frying oil for 3 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, ketchup, grape vinegar, and remaining salt, and boil for 2 minutes.
Add the fried cauliflower to the sauce, toss quickly, and serve with scallions.
💡 Tip: Do not soften the cauliflower completely; a short boil followed by frying keeps the inside firm but not dry.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve gobi Manchurian hot as a shared plate with optional eggless vegetable noodles or plain rice.
