Black Rice Salad Recipes

BLACK RICE SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place black rice, salt, and water in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil and cook until the rice is tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain and let it cool.
• Make the salad dressing by whisking together rice vinegar, shallot, honey, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and ginger. While still whisking, drizzle in the olive oil and sesame oil until fully combined.
• To assemble the salad, place now-cooled black rice, sugar snap peas (or shelled edamame), radishes, bell pepper, and cilantro in a large salad bowl. Drizzle it with the dressing and give it a gentle toss.
• Give it a taste for seasoning and add in if necessary. Serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the black rice with cold water in a sieve.
• Put the drained black rice in a saucepan, poor plenty of boiling water over the rice, add the salt and cook the rice according to the package directions so they still have "a bit of a bite". The Italian black rice that I use doesn't need soaking and is perfect after cooking for 16 - 17 minuttes.
• Rinse the cooked rice with cold water in a sieve, drain it thoroughly then pour into a bowl.
• Add the chopped walnuts, cranberries and red onion.
• Mix the ingredients for the vinaigrette and poor over the rice salad.
