Crispy Thai Rice Salad
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (fan forced).

  2. Start with roasting the rice.

  3. Combine the cooked rice with the sesame oil and tamari.

  4. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spread out in a thin layer. Roast for 20 minutes or until the rice is crispy.

  5. Pick the leaves from the stems of all the herbs. Place in a salad bowl with the spring onions and peanuts (or cashews).

  6. Then combine all of the dressing ingredients well (shaking together in a little jar is easiest). Taste and make sure you are happy with the balance between the sweet / salty / sour flavours. If it is too sour you may like to add a little more fish sauce (saltiness) or sweetener.

  7. Dress and toss the salad just prior to serving.

  8. Add any extras as described below.

  9. With optional extras such as meat of choice – other vegetables like snow peas, edamame, capsicum, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, cucumber, mango etc.

  10. This is lovely served in a lettuce cup too.

  11. In an airtight container in the fridge. If possible keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
