Fill and boil your kettle. Tip the rice into a small pan and pour in 400ml boiling water. Add a pinch of salt. Cover. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and very gently cook for 15-20 mins till the water has been absorbed and the rice is sticky.

Meanwhile, make the dressing. Zest the lime into a bowl and squeeze in the juice. Peel and grate in the garlic and ginger. Add 2 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp olive oil and ½-1 tbsp horseradish mustard (it's spicy, so use as much or as little as you prefer). Whisk together to make a dressing. Taste and add salt and pepper if you think it needs it.

Trim and peel the carrots. Use the peeler to shave ribbons off the carrots, peeling down to the cores then thinly slicing them. Trim the courgette and peel it into matching ribbons, slicing the seeded core. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
