• Reduce heat to medium, then add coconut milk, vegetable stock powder, the brown sugar and water (for the sauce) and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then stir through roasted veggies, bamboo shoots (see ingredients) and baby spinach leaves until spinach has wilted. Season to taste.
