Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams

Steps

1. Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into florets and steaming until tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Once cooked, let the cauliflower cool slightly and then pulse in a food processor until it resembles noodle-like strands.
3. In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the cauliflower noodles to the skillet, mixing with the garlic and ginger for 2-3 minutes.
6. Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce, ensuring the cauliflower is well coated, and cook for another 2 minutes.
