Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, black pepper, and salt. Add 1/2 cup water and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms — it should coat the back of a spoon and cling to the florets without dripping off. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if the batter is too thick to coat evenly.

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, chili sauce, sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 3 tbsp water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
