  1. Can you just use garlic puree or minced garlic or is there a good substitute? I do not like the flavor of ginger at all. Otherwise, this looks like something I would like to try to make. Thanks!

    1. Robin, Yes you can just use the garlic. The ginger doesn't even really need a substitute, though if you are looking for a bit of spiciness you can add a touch of cayenne pepper.

    1. Ricki, Cook the cauliflower about 10 minutes on the stovetop then following the remaining directions. 🙂

    1. Michelle, It would bring the cholesterol to ZERO. Please use an online site to calculate the exact changes. “My Fitness Pal” has an online calculator.

  2. I made this last night. Completely bland on its own. I suggest you start with 1 head of cauliflower. Working 2 makes it SUPER bland. Even after i put some soy sauce on it, super bland with soy sauce. The cauliflower and the mixed veggies takes away all of the ginger-garlic taste.
    It needs something bad, so in my bowl i dropped a little wasabi sauce in it. But Bland was still there.
    Any clues what to add for flavor?

    1. Hi Richard, sorry to hear you thought the recipe was bland. Everyone has different preferences, please feel free to adjust spices and seasonings to fit your personal taste.
