How to make Breakfast Rice Bowls with Smoked Fish

Mix spring onions, ginger, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.

Stir vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water in a medium bowl; set aside.

Combine cucumbers, daikon, and radishes in another medium bowl. Season with salt and massage, squeezing out liquid, until softened; drain.

Add vegetables to reserved brine and chill at least 10 minutes before eating.

Using your hands, gather up and squeeze as much liquid as possible from daikon. Transfer to a small bowl and add yoghurt and lemon juice. Mix well; season yoghurt sauce with salt.

To serve, assemble smoked salmon, rice, roe, furikake, pickled ginger, spring onion jam, pickles, and yoghurt sauce in bowls as desired. Use all the components, or skip the ones you don’t want!

Vegetables can be pickled 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
