Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoon Oil
1 head of Cauliflower, cut into florets
1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry

Stir to combine garlic-ginger mixture with cauliflower, saute 30 seconds more. Reduce heat to low and add soy, sherry, vinegar and 1/4 cup water.
