Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Crack the eggs. Place the panko in a bowl. Roll the florets first in the egg and then in the panko. Then place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (top/bottom heat) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Peel the garlic and ginger. Cut the ginger into tiny cubes. Whisk the cornstarch with a little water (approx. 100 ml) and set aside to thicken the sauce. For the sauce, combine 9 tablespoons of water, orange juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, crushed garlic cloves, peeled and finely diced ginger, Tabasco, and ketchup in a pan and bring to a boil. Then add the mixed cornstarch water a tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Remove the now-baked cauliflower from the oven and toss it in the sauce. Arrange and serve immediately. Rice goes well with it.
