Instructions
1. Put both rices into a large saucepan with enough water to cover and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.

3. Place the samphire in a steamer basket and arrange the fish rolls on top. Sprinkle with the remaining garlic and ginger, and add the carrot. Cover and steam over high heat for 5–6 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the samphire is just tender.
4. Arrange the samphire and fish on serving plates with the carrot on top. Drizzle with the sesame oil and sprinkle with the remaining spring onions and the coriander and serve.
