One by one, transfer cauliflower to two parchment-lined baking sheets, letting excess batter drip off. Do not overcrowd. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Rinse and dry bowl, set aside.
Purée ingredients for sauce except tapioca flour in a blender until smooth. Pour into a small saucepan over low heat. Adjust spice, sweetness, and saltiness to your liking. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Combine water and tapioca flour and stir into sauce to thicken.
Remove cauliflower from oven and pour into large bowl. Pour sauce over and toss to coat. Add green onions and serve.
