WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

1 cauliflowe­r, separated into florets, leaves discarded

2 tsp sunflower oil

1 x 220g pack stir-fry vegetable medley, spring onions and chilli finely sliced, the rest chopped

2 tsp ginger and garlic paste 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 150g frozen peas

200g everyday value frozen cooked and peeled prawns, defrosted 3eggs

3 tsp toasted sesame oil

2 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce, plus extra to serve (optional)

1 tbsp chilli sauce (optional)

2 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

METHOD

To make the cauliflowe­r ‘rice’, pulse the florets a few times in a food processor or grate coarsely.

Heat the oil in a wok or saute pan. Stir-fry half the sliced spring onions and chilli with the ginger and garlic paste for one minute.

Add the rest of the vegetables from the stir-fry pack and the carrots and peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Add the prawns and heat through for two minutes. Stir in the cauliflowe­r rice and stir-fry for one minute.

Whisk together the eggs and 1 tsp sesame oil, then season. Make two spaces in the veg and pour in the egg. Let it set, then mix through with a flat spatula.

Toss the cooked veg and prawns with 2 tbsp soy sauce. Serve in bowls, drizzled with the remaining sesame oil. Top with the reserved spring onions and the chilli sauce, sesame seeds and extra soy sauce, if using.

Tip: Enhance the flavour of your fried rice with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
