Pickled carrot and daikon radish can be found in Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese cuisine. Combined with rice in this cool, light and flavorful salad, it will remind you of sushi and rice rolls. Shrimp or crab can be added to make this into a main dish salad.

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread rice out on a baking sheet and cool to room temperature.

  • Whisk vegetable oil, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, chile paste, and remaining salt together in a large bowl. Add rice, drained carrot mixture, cilantro, peanuts, and green onions to the bowl; stir until salad is well-coated. Serve warm or cold.

A couple things when you're making this recipe. Firstly, I'd suggest making slightly more dressing than it directs. The coating is VERY light. Especially if you add a protein, as I did (shrimp). Second, don't let the dressing's taste scare you before you actually dress the salad! It's definitely meant to be paired with the pickled vegetables. I made this recipe in steps and while the rice was a little dry (it had been refrigerated overnight), it was nice to be able to do pieces here and there. My pickles were refrigerated for a little over 24 hrs and they were still crisp and delightful. Ultimately, this still gets three stars because the flavor profile is just a little too tame. I served the salad cold which does dull flavors a touch but I'd say maybe a little more chili paste. A little more lime juice. Just some overall kick! Read More
