Brown Rice And Seaweed Salad Food

BROWN RICE AND SEAWEED SALAD

Steps:

• Soak seaweed in a bowl of cold water until re-hydrated, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add onion and sauté until slightly golden and translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Drain seaweed, squeezing out water, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar and tamari. Whisk until blended. Add onion and rice, and toss with two forks to dress well.
• Add seaweed to rice mixture and toss well. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

BROWN RICE SALAD

Steps:

• In a 10-inch saute pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble, and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
• Add the red onion to the pan and cook until translucent, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Add the vinegar, chicken broth, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper to the pan and stir to combine. Add the bacon back to the pan along with the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the dill. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
• Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.

WAKAME SEAWEED SALAD

Steps:

• Place the wakame in a large bowl and cover with the water, adding more if needed to keep wakame submerged. Soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Line a colander with a clean kitchen towel and have it standing by.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons of the rice wine vinegar with the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Whisk constantly while drizzling in the sesame oil to form an emulsion.
• When the wakame is hydrated, drain thoroughly through the prepared colander. Gather up the sides of the towel to form a pouch, then twist the towel to wring out additional water. Dry the large bowl and return the wakame to it. Top with the dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until the seaweed is cold and the dressing has been absorbed, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, peel and dice the avocado into small cubes measuring between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch. Toss in a small bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of rice wine vinegar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in the carrot and radishes, then fold this mixture gently into the wakame and serve.
