Add the cauliflower and spices, stir well, then cover with stock. Pop the lid on, leave to cook for 10 minutes.

Add coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, then leave to cook for a further 10-15 minutes with the lid off

Once the cauliflower is soft, blend the soup with an immersion blender.

Taste, adjust seasoning as necessary, and finish with lime juice

For the drizzle, combine all of your finely chopped ingredients in a bowl along with rice vinegar, vegan fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and sugar. Drizzle over the bowl, and enjoy!
