Broccoli with Soy-Lemon Dressing

I haven't been cooking here but I received this recipe from Dr. Weil's e-newsletter and would like to prepare it for Christmas.

Ingredients

2 pounds broccoli or cauliflower, about 2 bunches

Soy-Lemon Dressing (mixed together):
3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

1. Using a sharp paring knife, peel the tough skin from the broccoli stems and cut away the stem ends. Cut off the florets and cut the peeled stems on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch-thick sections. Separate the larger florets, so all are approximately the same size. If cooking cauliflower, remove any leaves and break or cut into florets, about 1 1/2 inches wide.

2. Arrange the broccoli or cauliflower in a steamer tray or on a plate set on a rack. Fill a wok or pot with several inches of water and heat until boiling. Place the vegetable over the boiling water and steam 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.

3. Drain any water from the broccoli or cauliflower. Put the vegetable in a serving bowl, add the Dressing, toss lightly, and serve.
