1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
   For the cauliflower, whisk the egg, milk, garlic, liquid aminos or soy sauce, and sriracha to make a batter.

2. Toss the cauliflower in the batter and coat in breadcrumbs. Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.

3. In a large skillet, sauté the onion in the olive oil until onion is translucent. Whisk in the preserves, sriracha, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, water, and mushrooms. Simmer until mushrooms are softened and sauce is bubbly and slightly thicker.

4. Serve prepared rice in a bowl topped with the saucy cauliflower. Garnish with crushed cashews, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
