What each ingredient does

Cauliflower
Provides the main body and texture of the pudding once cooked until tender.
Mixed vegetables
Add bulk, color, and mild sweetness to the pudding.
Supreme sauce
Binds the vegetables together with a creamy, moist coating.

The step that matters

Boil the cauliflower until tender but not overcooked. Overcooked cauliflower breaks down, releases excess water and turns mushy, which makes the pudding watery and loose in texture.
