THAI-STYLE SPROUTED RICE AND HERB SALAD



Thai-Style Sprouted Rice and Herb Salad image

This is inspired by a recipe in "Seductions of Rice," by Naomi Duguid and Jeffrey Alford. The traditional dressing is made with four times as much fish sauce, which I've revised here to keep the sodium levels more manageable. I find any amount of fish sauce makes a dish hard to resist.

THAI-STYLE RICE SALAD



Thai-Style Rice Salad image

This recipe occurred semi-accidentally. I was studying various Thai recipes and examining the flavors, and went home to stare at my fridge, and out came this recipe. A wonderful condiment to eat with this dish, and many other asian dishes, is Sambal Oelek, a garlic-chili paste you can find in the asian section of most groceries and asian specialty stores. It's quite spicy, and quite tasty.

THAI HARVEST RED RICE SALAD



Thai Harvest Red Rice Salad image

This is good. Thai red rice is unmilled (like brown rice) and takes longer to cook than polished rice like jasmine. However, because the grains are slender, they cook more quickly than other unmilled rices and use less water. Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the steam is retained in the pot during cooking. One cup raw rice yields about 3 cups cooked rice. Measurements and times vary according to rice type, so follow the package directions. Find red rice at Asian markets or specialty markets, or substitute brown rice.

Categories     Medium Grain Rice

Time 55m

Yield 4 salad servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup red rice (Thai)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup fresh limes or 1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
2 green onions, using green parts only, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup small red onion, finely chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the rice well and drain. In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rice and stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and let boil for 1 minute. Stir the rice to prevent sticking. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand covered for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whirl the canola oil, lime juice, soy sauce and honey in a blender until smooth to make the vinaigrette.
  • When done, fluff the rice with a fork and combine the rice and vegetables in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the salad sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
