1. 1

   Prep everything first: wash and trim the mushrooms and carrot, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

2. 2

   Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

3. 3

   Slice the halloumi and dry-fry in a griddle pan for 2 minutes per side until charred.

4. 4

   Season with five-spice, then toss in hoisin and garlic over high heat for the last minute until sticky.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the mushrooms and carrot for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

6. 6

   Build the bowl: brown rice first, then the veg and halloumi, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the cucumber.

7. 7

   Bulking upgrade: add the cashews, sesame oil for extra energy-dense calories.
