The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

  1. Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Peel the cucumber into ribbons. Slice the ribbons into long, thin strips (or use a julienne peeler or spiralizer if you have one). Place in a mixing bowl and season with sea salt. Set aside. Halve the lime.
  3. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then add the prawns and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 6-8 mins, until the prawns are almost cooked.
  4. Add the black bean paste and one-third of the honey to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat. Roughly chop the spinach and stir it through the prawns along with the cooked rice. Season with a good squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper (to taste).
  5. Discard the excess liquid from the cucumber bowl. Stir in the sesame seeds, juice from half the lime, the remaining honey and 1 tbsp oil.
  6. Serve the prawns and rice onto a plate and top with the cucumber.
