Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F (fan forced).
Add rice to the saucepan and fill with water. Use clean hands to swish the rice around in the water to remove excess starches. Strain off the water and repeat this process another two times.
Add 2 1/2 cups water to the rice in the saucepan. Place on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer with the lid partially on. Simmer until most of the water has been absorbed. At this point, place the lid on properly and turn off the heat, allowing the rice to steam for around 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the cubed salmon to a bowl and top with half of the teriyaki marinade. Toss to coat evenly and tip out onto a lined baking tray, spreading out across the tray so that there is space in between each piece. Place into the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
To make the cucumber salad, add the cucumber slices, sesame seeds, fish sauce and rice wine vinegar to a bowl and toss to combine.
To assemble, divide the rice between 4 bowls. Top with the salmon, cucumber salad, shredded cabbage, red onion and spring onions. Serve warm.
