Quinoa is a protein-rich alternative, while brown rice is often less expensive.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat, and vegetable oil is typically cheaper.

seaweed salad

🥗Healthier: cucumber salad

💰Cheaper: shredded lettuce

Cucumber salad is fresh and light, while shredded lettuce is a more economical base.

Start by getting some brown rice on the boil because it takes ages.

While the rice is cooking, dice the kingfish and marinate it with lemon juice, lemon zest, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sweet chili.

Stir the marinade through the fish, cover it, and place it in the fridge to soak and chill down.

Toast some sesame seeds in a pan until they start to brown, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Prepare the salad by chopping baby spinach, cucumber, carrots, and avocado, or any other crunchy and fresh vegetables you prefer.

Once the sesame seeds are done, add them to the fish mix and return it to the fridge.

Make a wasabi mayo as a highlight of the dish and chop up some coriander, keeping it optional for those who dislike the taste.

Once the rice is done, drain it and combine all the ingredients in a bowl to enjoy.
