Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 cup shelled edamame (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 ripe avocado (diced)
  • 1 English cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced or diced)
  • 3 spring onions (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh coriander (cilantro) (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill (roughly chopped)

  • 1-3 garlic cloves (minced (to taste))
  • 1-2 tsp Sriracha (optional – omit or reduce for milder)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2-4 tbsp water (to thin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread cooked jasmine rice on a baking tray and drizzle with chili oil and soy sauce. Toss to combine and bake for 20 minutes until crispy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine edamame, diced avocado, cucumber, red bell pepper, spring onions, chopped coriander, and dill.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, minced garlic, Sriracha (if using), rice vinegar, soy sauce, and enough water to achieve a pourable consistency.
