2 Garlic cloves, minced
4 Cups cauliflower florets
⅓ Cup soy sauce, or tamari for gluten free

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook until soft, around 2 minutes.
Add the garlic cloves and the cauliflower florets and cook until the cauliflower florets are fork tender, around 6 to 8 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl whisk the soy sauce with the brown sugar.
Add the rice vinegar.
Add cornstarch and mix until smooth.
Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and cook.
Stir constantly until the sauce has thickened and caramelized.

You can serve this dish with rice or noodles.
The sauce is sweet, garlicky, and super sticky, so it’s perfect to serve with a delicate side.
