Ingredients

Cooked prawns, peeled150 g
Cooked weight, as sold chilled.
Cooked white rice140 g
Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.
Mango80 g
Ripe enough that a thumb dents it. Underripe mango is sour and hard and the bowl is worse for it. Flesh only.
Cucumber80 g
Red onion30 g
Spring onion20 g
Fish sauce1 tsp (5 g)
Lime juiceJuice of a whole lime
Fresh red chilliHalf a red chilli, sliced
Fresh corianderA handful, torn

Method

Slice the red onion as thinly as you can and drop it in the lime juice with the fish sauce and chilli. Leave it five minutes to soften and lose its rawness.
Dice the mango and cucumber to about the size of the prawns.
Toss the rice, prawns, mango and cucumber through the dressing with the spring onion, then the coriander last so it does not bruise.

Worth knowing

Everything here is better cold, so it packs the night before without losing anything. Keep the coriander separate and add it at the desk.
Fish sauce is doing the salt. A teaspoon is enough for the whole bowl and adds almost nothing to the numbers.
