Directions
GENERAL
FOR THE PASTE
Put all the ingredients for the paste in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Transfer this paste to a wok or a large shallow saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring most of the time, for 4 minutes.
Add the water and bring this back to the boil. When it is boiling add the pickling onions (if used), stir, and cover the wok or pan for 2 minutes.
Uncover and add the beans and carrots, put the cover on again and simmer for 3 minutes.
Once more uncover the wok or pan, and add the cauliflower and the rest of the ingredients. Stir them around and put the cover back, and continue cooking for 3-5 more minutes.
Uncover the wok or pan for the last time, adjust the seasoning and turn the vegetables over again for a few seconds.
Transfer to a warm serving dish, if it is to be served hot as an accompaniment to your main course; otherwise refrigerate, to be served cold a few hours or a few days later.
