How to Make Chinese Rice Salad With Snow Peas

  1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions. Set aside to cool.
  2. Steam 1 cup snow peas and 1 cup broccoli florets until tender-crisp (3-5 minutes). Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant color. Drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, snow peas, and broccoli.
  4. Add 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup chopped red onion (or Walla Walla onion), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  6. Pour the dressing over the rice and vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
