* 1 tsp salt
* 1/4 cup (60ml) mirin seasoning
* 1/3 cup (80ml) rice wine vinegar
* 1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced crossways
* 150g smoked salmon
* 1 tbsp vegetable oil
* 2 tsp sesame oil
* 3 tsp soy sauce
* 2 tsp lemon juice
* 1 1/2 tsp miso paste
* 1 tsp finely grated ginger
5 Method / Steps
Step 1
Place rice, salt and 2½ cups (625ml) water in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 mins or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Set aside, covered, for 10 mins to steam.
Step 2
Combine mirin and 1/4 cup (60ml) vinegar in a bowl. Place rice in a glass or ceramic bowl. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to break up lumps while gradually adding the mirin mixture, gently folding to combine. Continue folding for 15 mins or until rice is cool.
Step 3
Grease a 20cm (base measurement) square cake pan. Line with plastic wrap, allowing sides to overhang. Arrange cucumber, overlapping slightly, over half the base. Arrange the salmon, overlapping slightly, over another half of the base. Top with the rice. Use wet hands to press rice into the pan until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap. Top with a slightly smaller square cake pan. Place cans on top. Place in fridge for 2 hours or overnight to set.
Step 4
Whisk the combined oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, miso, ginger and remaining vinegar in a bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Remove cans and top pan from the rice mixture. Uncover. Invert onto a clean work surface. Use a large sharp knife to cut in half between cucumber and salmon. Cut each half into pieces. Place on a serving platter. Serve with dressing.

Lemon meringue scones recipe
![Lemon meringue scones](https://news365.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Lemon-meringue-scones.jpeg)
Lemon meringue scones recipe. Swap your regular scones for something a bit different: this easy, retro recipe inspired by lemon meringue pie.
Ingredients (10)
– 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust
– 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
– 60g butter, chilled, chopped
– 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
– 250ml (1 cup) lemonade
– 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice
– 25g bought mini meringues, finely crushed
– 160ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream, whipped
– 130g (1/2 cup) bought lemon curd
– Icing sugar, to dust
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift the 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust into a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar. Use your fingertips to rub the 60g butter, chilled, chopped into the mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind. Make a well in the centre.
Step 2
Pour the 250ml (1 cup) lemonade into the well. Use a flat-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture just begins to hold together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until just smooth. Shape dough into a 2cm-thick disc. Use a round 6cm-diameter pastry cutter dipped in extra flour to cut 12 rounds from the dough, re-shaping offcuts as needed. Place the scones, slightly apart, on the prepared tray. Bake for 17 minutes or until golden and scones sound hollow when tapped on top.
Step 3
Meanwhile, place the 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice and remaining sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Boil for 3-4 minutes or until thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Use a serrated knife to slice the warm scones in half horizontally. Brush the tops of the scones with the syrup then sprinkle with 25g bought mini meringues, finely crushed. Top the scone bases with 160ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream, whipped and 130g (1/2 cup) bought lemon curd then sandwich with the scone tops. Serve dusted with Icing sugar, to dust.
