Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Make the rice cakes; place the rice, flour and half the sesame seeds into a mixing bowl. Crack in the egg, season with sea salt then use your hands to smash the rice together. Mix and shape into 2 patties.
- 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. Transfer to a lined baking tray and scatter over the remaining sesame seeds. Bake for 10 mins, until golden brown and crispy.
- Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Quarter the lime. Reheat the frying pan with 2 tsp oil on high heat. Add the cabbage and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden. Add the tamari, cook for 1 min, then remove the pan from the heat and squeeze in the juice from 1 lime wedge.
- Peel the carrot into ribbons. Finely slice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat) and spring onion. Add the carrot to the cabbage pan and mix.
- Serve the veg on plates with smoked salmon and rice cakes. Garnish the veg with the chilli (to taste), spring onion and the remaining lime wedges on the side.
