A rice bowl is a wondrous thing, but often – despite the simplicity of its title – a rather cluttered and complicated one. Here, I have pared it back, to make a gorgeously seasoned rice bowl, with nothing more than a few seeds, herbs and radishes stirred through it, and an avocado to top it.

Each serving provides 498 kcal, 13g protein, 61g carbohydrate (of which 4.1g sugars), 21g fat (of which 4g saturates), 6.1g fibre and 1.9g salt.
