Broccoli or Cauliflower with a Soy-Lemon Dressing

 

2 pounds broccoli or cauliflower, about 2 bunches

 

Soy-Lemon Dressing (mixed together):

3 T. to ¼ cup soy sauce

2 T. fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 T. minced garlic

1 1/2 T. sugar

 

Using a sharp paring knife, peel the tough skin from the broccoli stems and cut away the stem ends. Cut off the florets and cut the peeled stems on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch-thick sections. Separate the larger florets, so all are approximately the same size. If cooking cauliflower, remove any leaves and break or cut into florets, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Arrange the broccoli or cauliflower in a steamer tray or on a plate set on a rack. Fill a wok or pot with several inches of water and heat until boiling. Place the vegetable over the boiling water and steam 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain any water from the broccoli or cauliflower. Put the vegetable in a serving bowl, add the Dressing, toss lightly, and serve.
