*This recipe was developed for the Stainless Steel Thermal Vacuum Cooking Pot (SN-XAE60/80). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.
Cut cauliflower into small pieces.
Heat the inner pan over medium heat. Check its surface temperature by dripping a few drops of water. If they run on the surface, then the pan is ready to cook. Add olive oil, onion and sauté them until onion becomes soft, about 5 minutes. Then add cauliflower and sauté for 5 more minutes.
Add chicken broth to the pan and when it reaches a boil, cover and place the inner pan in the insulated container and keep warm for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, take out the inner pan and place back onto the stove and heat over medium heat. Mash with a masher or a stick blender.
Stir soy milk into the pan and when it reaches a boil again, add salt and white pepper to taste.
Garnish with crushed roasted pistachios and shaved roasted cauliflower if preferred.
