1. To make the rice bites, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Line a small baking dish with clingwrap and add the rice mixture. Smooth and press down firmly. Freeze for 1 hour.

2. Once cooled and set, remove the rice from the baking dish and cut into small rectangles. Dust lightly with cornflour.

3. Fry the rice bites in a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat until golden and crispy.

4. For the vegan option, combine the baby marrow, soya sauce, rice vinegar, sambal oelek and lime juice.  Allow to pickle for a few minutes. Smear a little guacamole onto the rice bites, top with baby marrow and sprinkle over the dukkah.

5. For the pescatarian option, place an avo rose or sliced avo onto the rice bite, add a small squeeze of mayo, a prawn, a mint leaf and a sprinkling of dukkah.
