Method
step 1
Heat the rice following the pack instructions then tip into a bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients then add to the bowl and toss together.

Add the soy and sugar mix to the pan and cook until the mix starts to caramelise and glaze the fish. Very carefully flip over and cook for another minute.

Add the edamame, cucumber, radishes, and most of the spring onions and chilli to the rice and toss.
