1 cup cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces, or 1 cup frozen chopped cauliflower, thawed
1 tomato, cut into 8 wedges
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms or 1 (3-oz.) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
hot cooked rice (to serve)

Add chicken, cauliflower, tomato and mushrooms and cook, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken and cauliflower are tender.
Add sugar, fish sauce and lemon juice. Stir well.
Serve hot over rice or in individual soup bowls with rice on the side.
