Method
Step by step
Step 1Prep the ingredients
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil, then cook the rice in a saucepan of simmering water for 12 to 15 minutes until tender, then drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again very well. Hold back extra salt and black pepper until the final taste check.
Step 2Prep the ingredients
Dice the mango, dice half the cucumber, roughly chop the coriander, and halve the lime.
Step 3Cook the cooked prawns
Pat the cooked prawns dry with kitchen paper so the salad stays bright rather than watery.
Step 4Mix the sauce
Whisk the lime juice with the soy sauce and 1 tbsp cold water in a large bowl.
Step 5Combine the rice
Toss the cooled rice with the dressing for 30 seconds, then fold through the prawns, mango, cucumber, and coriander.

Step 6
Divide between lunch boxes and keep chilled until eating. Taste once everything is assembled, then add a little salt and black pepper only if needed.
