For the dressing: Place the miso paste, maple syrup, rice wine vinegar and ginger in a small bowl and mix well to break down the miso. Stir in half the toasted sesame seeds, then add the water, little by little, until you get a thinner consistency.
1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 3 cm ginger piece, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1–2 teaspoons water
Place the brown rice, red cabbage, carrot, edamame beans, chicken and spring onion in a large bowl and toss together. Add half the dressing and toss through. Add the remaining dressing, if needed. Gently toss together, sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and serve.
450 g brown rice, 3 cups red cabbage, 2 carrots, 1 cup edamame beans, 2 cups cooked chicken, 5 spring onions
Notes
If you don't have time to make the dressing, you can use Kewpie roasted sesame dressing (available in the Asian section at supermarkets).
