Instructions
Have your slow cooker out and ready to go.
In a large ziploc bag, place cornstarch and pepper. Close and shake to combine. Add cauliflower florets and shake to coat the cauliflower pieces.
In a large, deep skillet, add grapeseed oil and heat over medium. Once hot, add cauliflower florets to skillet. Cook until lightly browned on each side, turning often. You are going for lightly browned, not blackened.
Place cauliflower florets and cashew into the crockpot.
In a small bowl, whisk together Tamari, rice vinegar, tomato sauce, sweet chili sauce, coconut sugar, garlic and ginger root. Pour over the top of the cauliflower and cashews in the crockpot. Gently stir to combine.
Cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.
