    1 In a large pan of boiling water, cook rice according to packet instructions. Drain, cover and set aside.

    3 For the vegetables, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add broccolini and cook for 2 minutes. Add a splash of water (about 3 tablespoons), toss and cover with the lid. Cook for 5 minutes until tender, then transfer to a plate. Heat remaining oil and add snow peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely blistered.

    4 To assemble the salad, place the cooked rice in a large serving bowl. Layer over red cabbage, broccolini and snow peas, followed by radishes and edamame. Cut avocado into wedges and place on top. Serve with dressing on the side.
