  3. Gently lift the steamer basket, like a curtain unveiling a culinary masterpiece, and set it aside. Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the savory show – bacon. In a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, let the bacon sizzle and transform, becoming a beacon of rich, savory goodness.

  5. Stir the ingredients frequently, letting them twirl in the skillet for approximately 2 minutes or until the entire concoction is reheated and harmoniously blended. Each bite will be a celebration of textures and tastes – the tender cauliflower, the crispy bacon, and the aromatic scallions.
