Scale

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 each Lime (zest and juice)
  • 2 each Mini Cucumbers
  • 2 each Avocados
  • 1 each Red Bell Pepper
  • 4 each Green Onions
  • 2 cups Red Cabbage
  • 1 cup Unsalted Peanuts
  • 1 cup Edamame
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil

  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pre-cooked rice with chili garlic sauce, chili crunch oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, lime zest, and half of the lime juice.
  3. Spread this flavorful mixture evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 25-35 minutes, until the rice becomes perfectly crunchy and golden.
  4. While the rice is baking, take a large bowl and add mini cucumbers, diced avocados, chopped red bell pepper, sliced green onions, shredded red cabbage, peanuts, edamame, along with fresh basil and cilantro.
  5. Toss all the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  6. In a blender, add peanut butter, olive oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, the remaining lime juice, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, and grated ginger.
  7. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the crispy rice is done, allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  9. Add the cooled rice to the salad bowl filled with mixed vegetables.
  10. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top and gently toss everything together until it is evenly coated.

Notes

  • Store the components separately to maintain the crispy texture of the rice.
  • Combine just before serving for optimal freshness.
  • For a nut-free option, use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds instead of peanuts.
  • Adjust the chili garlic sauce for your preferred spice level.
