Brown Rice, Chicken & Roasted Sesame Bowls
Share Recipe Favourite Download PDFSuch an INCREDIBLE salad – 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 in the fridge. You can also use a finely shredded packet slaw to replace the two cabbages and carrot to save time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice cooked (or a brown rice sachet)
- 0.5 cup green cabbage finely shredded
- 0.5 cup purple cabbage finely shredded
- 1 lebanese cucumber cut into half moons
- 0.75 cup edamame beans thawed

- 3 radishes cut into thin half moons (optional)

- 3 tbsp sesame seeds white
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise japanese kewpie
- 3 tbsp neutral flavoured oil avocado or grapeseed
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce light
- 1.5 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2-3 tsp honey
Instructions
- For the dressing: Place a medium frying pan over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast them, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn, for about 6 minutes or until they turn golden. Transfer them to a plate to stop the cooking.
- Place the toasted sesame seeds in a small blender or use a mortar and pestle, and grind them until they turn to a fine crumb (be careful not to over grind). Pour the sesame crumb into a bowl or jug, add the remaining dressing ingredients and combine. Adjust to taste.
