Korean-Style Broccoli Wings

These wings put a spicy-Asian spin on our classic vegan (BBQ) wings – get that recipe here! They are easy to make and the sauce contains just a few simple ingredients:

Gochujang (get our favorite brand here!)– if you aren’t familiar with gochujang, it’s a spicy red chili paste that is a staple in our kitchen. 

Sesame Oil (we love this kind)

Soy Sauce (here is a low-sodium version we use)

Mirin (we love this brand)

Liquid Smoke (this brand is definitely vegan)

Beware: these wings are pretty darn spicy, but so WORTH IT.

Ingredients

  

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 medium-sized head of broccoli
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp gochujang
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
• 1 green onion chopped + sesame seeds, for topping (optional)

Instructions

 

• Start by pre-heating the oven to 400°F and greasing a baking sheet with the olive oil.
• Chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the water, flour & garlic powder.
• Dunk each piece of broccoli into the mixture (this can be done by either putting all the broccoli into the bowl and mixing or individually dunking each piece).
• Place the battered broccoli on the greased baking sheet (letting excess batter drip off before placing down).
• Cook broccoli for 35 minutes (flipping halfway)- they should be nice and crispy when done.
• While they are cooking, make the sauce by whisking together the gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, and liquid smoke in a small bowl.
• When the broccoli is done cooking, put the pieces in a large mixing bowl and toss them in the sauce (all the broccoli should be lightly coated).
• Top with green onions and sesame seeds (if desired) and serve!
