I'm going to find a recipe for a sweet-and-sour sauce (not the sticky too-sweet "red" sauce most cheap Chinese restaurants offer, but something more nuanced) and try it on steamed cauliflower. I'm thinking that something like the pineapple-juice-based sauce I have from Calvin Lee's sweet-and-sour pork recipe might just work. Yes, it sounds like a weird idea but I think it might work. (And maybe in the future, I could make sweet and sour pork and replace the carrots in it - which I cannot eat - with lightly cooked cauliflower)
I'm going to try the beans this weekend, I think. I think I can make time on Saturday to do them.
(ETA: wrong surname on the Chinese chef. Calvin LEE, not Calvin WONG. No idea who Calvin Wong is and if he even cooks.)

Recipe for sweet & sour I learned:
Equal parts (eg 1 large spoon) of vinegar, brown sugar, cornflour, and juice of a tin of pineapples. Mix it all up in a cup or jug, turn stir fry up high, add mixture, keep stirring until it's thickened. It looks weirdly brown, but tastes wonderful!
