Mackerel & rice bowl

What you need

• ·125g mackerel fillets in tomato
• ·75g basmati rice
• ·100g cucumber
• ·80g carrots
• ·12g soy sauce
• ·15g mixed seeds
• ·60g baby spinach

Method

1. 1Rice on. While it cooks, cucumber and carrot into matchsticks — the whole bowl depends on them being crunchy against the soft fish.
2. 2Spinach into the rice pan for the last thirty seconds, lid on, heat off. It wilts in the steam.
3. 3Rice into the bowl warm, not hot. Mackerel over with its sauce.
4. 4Soy and seeds over the top, vegetables piled on one side rather than mixed in.

Sections rather than a stir: a bowl where everything is mixed tastes the same in every mouthful, and this one is meant not to.
