STEP 1

• In a blender, add in all the ingredients and blend it all into a smooth consistency to create the marinate.
• Then on a lined baking tray, spread out all the cut watermelon. Drizzle some of the marinate onto the watermelon and mix lightly. Bake for 45 minutes in a gas oven at 170c.

STEP 2

• Once cooked, and still hot, add in the remainder of the marinate to coat the cooked watermelon and place in a container to cool before adding it to the fridge to marinate for 1 day or up to 3 days.

STEP 3

• To serve, add in half a cup of cooked rice in a bowl, topped with a cup of marinated watermelon, some edamame, shredded carrots, cucumber, purple cabbage and some avocado. Drizzle some extra marinate on the vegetables and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
