Ginger Paste

20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1.25 cup
water (for the rice)
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat.
• Cook ginger paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add jasmine rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt to the pan and bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While rice is cooking, roughly chop green beans and Asian greens. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). • In a small bowl, combine Japanese dressing and sesame dressing. Set aside. • In a shallow bowl, add mixed sesame seeds. Pat salmon dry with paper towel, drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Press salmon, skin-side down, into sesame seeds to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest. • Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat. Cook green beans until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add Asian greens, soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
• Divide ginger rice between plates. Top with veggies and sesame-crusted salmon. • Drizzle with Japanese dressing mixture and garnish with chilli. Enjoy!
