We love a classic Vietnamese-style rice bowl, so let’s put it to the test. There’s a collection of veggies including meaty mushrooms, a sticky plum sauce, plant-based mayo to mellow it out and a garnish of crispy shallots for crunch. It passes with flying colours!

Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • Thinly slice portabello mushrooms and fresh chilli (if using).
• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook mushrooms, stirring, until tender, 6-8 minutes.
• Add sweet soy seasoning and the remaining garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then add plum sauce, the soy sauce and a splash of water. Toss mushrooms to coat and season to taste.

• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with Vietnamese-style mushrooms and cucumber slaw. • Dollop with plant-based mayo. Garnish with crispy shallots and chilli. • Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
