Looking for a good cauliflower wings sauce… without the buffalo

I’m planning to make cauliflower wings but I need a sauce that isn’t spicy. Most of the recipes I find are for buffalo sauce. Anyone have ideas for a tasty sauce that goes well with cauliflower wings but doesn’t use hot sauce?

I make a Mandarin-style cauliflower like the one you get at Hakka-style Indo-Chinese restaurants. It’s sticky and sweet with a little spice. You can always tone down the heat, though. The sweetness is key! Here’s a link for the recipe: https://www.hookedonheat.com/gobi-manchurian/

I like to use Teriyaki sauce for my cauliflower wings or sometimes a mix of soy sauce and hoisin sauce. It’s super tasty and not spicy!

How about an orange chicken style sauce instead? Or you could use tomato sauce in place of hot sauce or guachang for a milder flavor.

Here’s a good one. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/air_fryer_cauliflower_34745

Any sauce you’d use for regular wings should work! Try different BBQ sauces to see what you like best.

You can use soy sauce with rice or corn syrup, a little sesame oil, and thicken it on the stove. Toss it with toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor. Also, this recipe shows how to make vegan ‘honey butter’ from apple: https://www.marystestkitchen.com/vegan-honey-butter-chicken-recipe/

I don’t follow this exact recipe, but I make something similar. Tofu is great for making a thick and rich sauce base, and it’s a good way to add protein to a cauliflower dish. Here’s a recipe for silken tofu ranch dressing: https://fitlizkitchen.com/silken-tofu-ranch-dressing/#recipe

Just pick a good BBQ sauce! It goes well with cauliflower wings.

Could you not just use the spicy recipe and replace the spicy ingredients with something else?

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! I’m going to try making a few different versions with all these awesome recipes you shared! <3

BBQ sauce is a classic option.

You could make a General Tso’s style sauce. It’s mild but flavorful.
