Leftovers with Oriental Cauliflower

Taking a day off and having Chinese we always have alot of leftovers. Knowing this I saw a recipe to go along with them.

Oriental Cauliflower

• 1 med head cauliflower, broken into florets
• 3 tbs cold water, divided
• 1/2 cup celery diced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 tbs butter
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 tbs chicken bouillon granules
• 2 tbs cornstarch
• 2 tbs soy sauce
• dash of pepper

 Place cauliflower in a microwave safe dish. Add 1 tbs cold  water. Cover and microwave on high for 6-7 minutes or until tender, drain and set aside. In a 1 qt microwave safe bowl, combine celery, onion, parsley and butter. Cover and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until tender. In a small bowl, combine hot water and bouillon until dissolved. In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and remaining cold water until smooth. Add soy sauce, pepper and bouillon; mix well. Stir into celery mixture. Microwave, uncovered at 70 % power for 3 - 4 minutes til the sauce comes just to a boil. Stirring after every minute. Pour over cauliflower.

While this was cooking I took the sesame Chicken and warmed that in a pan on the stove. Heated up the rest of the rice to go along with it.

It was VERY good!!! The Cauliflower was just tender enough without being mushy. It would go good with pork too!
