Ingredients

CRISPY RICE

  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp chili paste

SALAD

  • 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
  • 1 whole cucumber chopped
  • 2 large carrots shredded
  • 1 cup edamame beans
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 3 tbsp crushed peanuts
  • 400 g cooked shrimp

THAI PEANUT DRESSING

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • Hot water to thin

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cooked and cooled rice with soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste until evenly coated.
  • Spread the rice mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the rice for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine the purple cabbage, cucumber, shredded carrot, edamame beans, green onion, chopped peanuts, and shrimp.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Add water in small increments to reach your desired consistency.
  • Add the crispy baked rice to the salad bowl with the vegetables and shrimp. Drizzle with the peanut dressing and toss to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  • Garnish with additional chopped peanuts if desired and serve immediately for the best texture.
