Cooking steps

Coat the Florets
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Chop the cauliflower into florets. Halve any large florets.
  • Pop the florets into a mixing bowl. Add half the aioli and toss to coat. 
  • In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with ¼ tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil (double both for 4p).
  • Add the breadcrumb mix to the florets and toss to coat evenly.
Bake the Cauliflower
2
  • Pop the coated cauliflower onto a lined baking tray and arrange in a single layer—well spaced out. 
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and crispy, 20-25 mins.

TIP: If the florets don't fit in a single spaced out layer spread them across two baking trays.

Cook Your Rice
3
  • Add 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. 
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil. 
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
  • Leave to cook for 12 mins, then remove the pot from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Prep the Veg
4
  • Meanwhile, trim the carrot then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Slice widthways into pieces about 1cm thick.
  • Trim half the cucumber (double for 4p). Halve lengthways then thinly slice widthways. 
  • Trim and thinly slice the scallion. Separate the green portions from the white.
Make the Bang Bang Sauce
5
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • When the pan is hot, add the carrot and fry until tender, 4-5 mins.
  • Add soy sauce and white pieces of scallion and cook for 1-2 mins.
  • Remove pan from heat and cover to keep the carrot warm. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To make the bang bang sauce combine half the vinegar (double for 4p), the sweet chilli sauce and remaining aioli in a bowl.
Serve and Enjoy
6
  • Divide the rice between bowls.
  • Top with crispy cauliflower, fried carrot and sliced cucumber.
  • Drizzle with bang bang sauce and finish with a sprinkling of green scallion.
