Vegan Teriyaki Cauliflower Drumsticks – chunky & syrupy delights !
‘Allo !
You know the saying “tastes like chicken” … well these don’t really but still pack a punch in the Bento circles ! The Teriyaki sauce is very easy and yummy. You could just do it over mixed vegetables if you like the flavour of Teriyaki without the fanfare.
The aim is for the “drumsticks” to be soft but not falling apart, so you do need to watch that they don’t go to mush !
Enjoy ! Joni

Prep Time
15 min
Cook Time
20 min
Total Time
35 min
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower florets, stalks left on to resemble mini drumsticks
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbs O'Bento cooking sake
- 1 tbs soy sauce
- 1 tbs Stevia
- 1 tbs rice wine vinegar
- 2 cups of low salt stock, I use Massel chicken stock (vegan)
Instructions
- To make the drumsticks, slice the cauliflower top to bottom around each floret. See pic. Trim the florets, if needed, to expose more of the stalk.
- Place the drumsticks in a fry pan over medium heat and mix around the ginger and vegetable oil. Cook for 10 mins, until nice and browned, turning regularly. Add all the rest of the ingredients. Cook until sauce has thickened, approx. 10 mins, again turning the drumsticks regularly to soak up the teriyaki flavour. The timing will depend on how large your drumsticks are so adjust accordingly. Add more stock or water if needed. The cauliflower should be cooked through but not soft and falling apart.
Notes
- I use the OBento brand of cooking sake as it is super low cal & carb (1.1g carb & 23 cal per 25 ml serve). Check the panels of your local one. Exclude if you can't find it !
