Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
2
Toss the cauliflower in 1tsp of the oil to coat, then spread out on a large baking tray. Roast for 25-30 mins, until crisp and browned.
3
For the kung pao sauce, heat 1tsp of the oil in a large pan. Cook the onion, garlic and carrot over a medium heat for 5-6 mins, until starting to colour. Stir in the sriracha, tomato purée, rice vinegar, sugar and stock, then bring to a simmer. Stir in 1tbsp cold water into the cornflour and add to the pan.
4
Add the pak choi and bamboo shoots and bring back to a simmer, stirring regularly. Cook for 8-10 mins, until the sauce has thickened.
5
Meanwhile, for the fried rice, heat the rest of the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the spring onions and frozen mixed vegetables for 3-4 mins, until heated through. Heat the rice according to the pack instructions and tip into the pan with the vegetables. Stir through the soy sauce and cook for 2 mins.

Stir the roasted cauliflower into the kung pao sauce. Divide the rice between 4 plates and top with the kung pao cauliflower. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts, coriander and red chilli, to serve.
