Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of forbidden rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, dice the carrot, red bell pepper, and cucumber. Trim and halve the snap peas. Chop the green onions.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup, and 1 minced clove of garlic until well combined.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Combine Everything

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked forbidden rice with the diced vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Top with chopped cilantro, mint, and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
