Step 1.
Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a medium saucepan with 300 ml cold water. Cover the pan and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 20 minutes.

Divide the rice between four bowls and top with the salmon, beetroot, cucumber and mangetout. Garnish with sesame seeds and coriander.
