Step 2
Blanch the broccoli, so it's still crunchy and then mix together with the other salad ingredients.
Step 3
Divide the rice between your bowls and top with the mixed salad. Sprinkle the seeds over the top and add the coriander.
Step 4
Drizzle any leftover marinade dressing over the top and serve with the carrot sauce.
