Step 1

Place the water and salt in a large pot fitted with a steamer rack. Bring to a boil, add the cauliflower florets, cover and steam until they are very tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the butter along with salt and pepper to taste. Purée with an electric hand blender until smooth and silky (you ca also use a food processor or blender). Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the scallions and continue cooking just until softened, about 2 minutes more. Don't let them lose their bright green color.

Step 4

Stir in the cauliflower purée and heat through. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with sesame seed and drizzle with a few additional drops of sesame oil.
