Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil and salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast for 30 minutes, flipping once after 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk water and cornstarch until smooth; set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine tamari, brown sugar, garlic, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir until sugar dissolves (1–2 minutes).
Add cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil while whisking, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened (2–3 minutes).
Brush half the sauce over roasted cauliflower and return to oven for 10 minutes until caramelized.
Assemble bowls with grains, cauliflower, edamame, and cabbage.
Drizzle remaining sauce and top with green onions and optional toppings.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan—this helps the cauliflower get crispy.
Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Swap grains based on preference—quinoa for lightness, rice for comfort, farro for chewiness.
Add sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
