Healthy Salad Recipes: Oriental Rice Salad



This recipe serves 3-4 people

3 cups cooked rice
2 toasted nori sheets, crumbled
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup fresh or frozen green peas or edamame (if frozen, lightly steam them.)
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
mung beans for topping (optional)


Dressing:

toasted sesame oil, 2 Tbsp
maple syrup, 1 tsp
salt, a pinch
rice vinegar, 2 tsps
fresh squeezed ginger juice, about 1 tsp


Directions: Lightly toast the sesame seeds on medium-low heat in a pan, stirring occasionally. Toast until seeds begin to change color. If you have a suribashi or mortal and pestle, you can grind the seeds a bit. Mix together in a bowl the seeds, rice, crumbled nori, peas, and bell pepper. Mix together dressing in a small bowl. To make ginger juice, grate ginger root, about 1/2 handful, and squeeze it in your hand over the bowl. Add dressing to salad and mix. Serve salad and top with some mung beans sprouts.
