TROPICAL RICE SALAD WITH MANGO-SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• Cook rice in a pan of boiling, salted water about 12 minutes on medium heat. Make sure rice is just tender, not completely soft. Drain well and rinse with cold water. Drain Again.
• Mix together next 7 ingredients (pineapple through water chestnuts). Add rice to pineapple mixture and combine well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Blend mango puree, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce on medium speed in blender (or by hand, mix well). Slowly pour oil into top of blender, while running, until emulsified. If doing by hand, add oil in a slow stream while mixing constantly.
• Once combined, pour dressing over rice mixture and serve.

MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE THAT'S GOOD ON ANYTHING

Steps:

• Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
• With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
• Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.
