Method

Put the bulgur wheat in a pan with the stock cube and cook following the pack instructions. Drain and set aside to cool a little.
Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small jug or bowl, whisk the light soy sauce, half the lime juice, fish sauce (or soy sauce), vinegar and honey with 1 tbsp water. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside until needed.
Put the avocado in a bowl and pour over the remaining lime juice. Tip the bulgur wheat onto a serving platter, then top with the cucumber, lime zest, radishes, parsley, avocado, torn basil and cress. Add the tomatoes, then drizzle over the dressing and scatter over the whole basil leaves.
