Quite simple and good. I can see the appeal of the soba here--it has a good texture, good flavor, and--perhaps most importantly--it's not white. (At least my soba wasn't.)

I sauteed the garlic in a teeny little bit of oil, just b/c I didn't know how it would taste without. I used about 1/3 cup of water (for one serving of this recipe) and it cooked it nicely without adding more fat. The flavor of the cauliflower was pretty nice.

I think this recipe would be fun to play around with some b/c it is so basic (although it is good in its basicness). I would just be careful, though, because it is also delecate. I thought it could use a little "dressing," so I added sesame oil. Don't do that--it completely overpowered the caulflower. (That's my fault, though, and not the fault of the recipe.) Some green onions may have provided a nicer contrast, perhaps with a milder flavor oil to tie it together.
