Ingredients

- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbs. peanut oil
- 2 tsp. dark sesame oil

Preparation
- Divide cauliflower into 12 to 14 florets. Bring half inch water to a boil in stainless steel saucepan, and add florets. Cover and cook over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender but still firm and most water evaporated.
- Transfer florets to serving bowl and immediately add remaining ingredients. Toss gently to coat cauliflower with mixture, and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers, and reheat as needed.
