Add water, bring to the boil then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 12 minutes or until rice is cooked through. Stand covered to steam until ready to serve.

Place edamame in a saucepan. Pour over a kettle of just boiled water and place over high heat. Return to the boil then drain.

Meanwhile, place cabbage and radishes in cold water in the fridge to crisp.

For the ginger dressing combine soy sauce, ginger, pickling liquid and sesame seeds in a bowl.

Divide rice between bowls. Add cabbage, radish, avocado and edamame. Top with sliced salmon and spoon over some of the dressing.

Scatter with wasabi peas and serve with Kewpie, a sprinkling of extra togarashi and remaining sauce alongside.
