Method
step 1
Cook the rice following pack instructions, then drain well (or use a pouch of microwave rice) and spread out on a plate or tray to cool slightly – this helps it crisp up nicely when frying.
step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat and cook the white parts of the spring onions, the carrot, garlic and ginger for 2-3 mins until fragrant. Tip in the edamame and peas, and cook for another couple of minutes.
step 3
Flake the salmon into large chunks, discarding any skin. Add the cooked rice to the pan along with the soy sauce, sesame oil and beaten egg, tossing everything together until the egg is cooked and the rice is hot and lightly fried.
step 4
Gently fold through the salmon pieces and most of the coriander, letting it warm through for a minute or two. Squeeze over the lime juice and scatter over the remaining coriander and the green parts of the spring onions to serve.
