Cooking Instructions

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

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Place the rice into a mixing bowl and crack in the egg. Add the flour, half the sesame seeds and a pinch sea salt and use your hands to smash the rice together. Shape into 4 patties.
  2. Heat a medium frying pan with the sesame oil on medium-high heat. Add the rice cakes and cook for 2 mins, per side, until golden brown and crispy. Scatter the remaining sesame seeds over the top and transfer to a lined baking tray. Bake for 10 mins.
  3. Trim and thinly slice the cabbage. Quarter the lime. Reheat the pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Add the cabbage and cook for 2-3 mins, until deep golden brown. Add the tamari, cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat. Squeeze in the juice from 1 lime wedge then leave to cool.
  4. Peel the carrots into ribbons. Finely slice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat) and spring onions. Add the carrots to the cabbage and toss to combine.
  5. Serve the cabbage on plates with the rice cakes and dot over the salmon. Garnish with the chilli (to taste), spring onions and remaining lime wedges.
