Brown Rice, Chicken & Roasted Sesame Bowls
Brown Rice, Chicken & Roasted Sesame Bowls
Such an INCREDIBLE SALAD – like it blows my mind every time I make it. The dressing takes a little more effort, but you can make a larger batch and it lasts up to 2 weeks for you to keep using. You can also use a finely shredded packet slaw to replace the two cabbages and carrot to save time – @woolworths_au do a finely shredded slaw now.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice cooked (or a sachet brown rice)
- 1/2 cup green cabbage finely shredded
- 1/2 cup red cabbage finely shredded
- 1 lebanese cucumber cut into half moons
- 3/4 cup frozen edamame beans thawed (also from @woolworths_au )
- 1 carrot grated or julienned
- 3 radishes cut into thin half moons (optional)
- 1 cup chicken chopped, cooked
- 1 avocado small, halved, pitted and scooped out with a spoon
- 4 tablespoons wasabi peas finely chopped or blended in a small food processor
Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds white
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Japanese kewpie
- 3 tablespoons neutral flavoured oil eg. Avocado or grapeseed oil
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce light
- 1.5 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2-3 teaspoons honey
Instructions
Method:
- For the dressing: Place a medium fry pan onto medium heat and pour in the sesame seeds. Toast them, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn, for approx. 5-6 minutes or until they start to develop a golden colour. Pour them on a plate to stop the cooking.
- Place the toasted sesame seeds in a small blender or use a mortar & pestle, and grind them until they turn to a fine crumb (be careful not to over grind). Pour the sesame crumb into a bowl/jug, along with the remaining dressing ingredients and combine. Adjust to taste. Set aside.
- To two serving bowls: add the brown rice, green cabbage, purple cabbage, cucumber, edamame beans, carrot, radish, cooked chicken, avocado and sprinkle over the crushed wasabi peas.
- Drizzle over the roasted sesame dressing and enjoy!!!!!!
