Sauté garlic and cauliflower

Stir-frying & sautéing ↗ - 04
Add water and steam briefly
Toss with salt, carefully add the measured pan water along the side and cover. Once steady steam appears, set a 1 min check. Continue if stems are too firm, keeping a little liquid at the base.
Look forA fork enters the stems readily while the florets stay intact.
Simmering ↗ - 05
Uncover, toss and serve
Open the lid away from your face, toss and let excess moisture evaporate briefly before plating. Avoid breaking up the florets or scorching the pan dry.
Look forThe tender-crisp florets are intact without a pool of water.
