Ingredients

2 cups brown rice
1/3 cup peanut oil
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tamari
1 teaspoon salt
1 -2 tablespoon honey (optional) or 1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
2 -3 scallions, minced

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 cup red bell pepper, slices
1/2 cup green bell pepper, slices
1 cup thin sliced water chestnuts
1 cup raw snow peas (optional)

Steps:

Cook the brown rice in 3 C water until tender.
In a large bowl, combine peanut oil, sesame oil, orange juice, garlic, pepper flakes, tamari, salt, honey or brown sugar if desired, cider vinegar, pineapple.
Add the hot rice to the above mix and mix well. Stir in the scallions, celery, sprouts, raisins, peanuts, cashews, sesame seeds, bell peppers, water chestnuts and raw peas if desired. Mix well and serve.

Tips:

Use high-quality rice: The type of rice you use will greatly affect the taste and texture of your salad. Choose a variety that is known for its flavor and texture, such as jasmine rice or basmati rice.
Cook the rice perfectly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
Use fresh, ripe dates: The dates should be plump and juicy, with no signs of bruising or mold. If you can't find fresh dates, you can use dried dates that have been soaked in warm water for 30 minutes.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the shallots: If you overcrowd the pan, the shallots will not cook evenly and will become soggy. Cook them in small batches if necessary.
Use a light hand when dressing the salad: The dressing should be light and flavorful, not overpowering. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Indonesian rice salad with fresh dates is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a healthy and nutritious salad, packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The combination of sweet dates, savory shallots, and tangy dressing makes this salad a truly unique and flavorful experience.
