Bouddi Rice Salad with Ginger Peanut Sauce
Fresh, nutritious, delicious and just right for your next hike.
It’s a thumbs up from our ladies who joined our recent Bouddi NP, 25km hike.
Firstly, get your vegetables ready:
· 2 red capsicums finely diced
· 2 cups shredded cabbage
· 2 grated carrots
· Small red onion diced
· ½ cup thinly sliced shallots.
These are just suggestions- you could also use kale, corn, shredded beetroot
Hint: To make this even easier look for the pre-packaged shredded packs in the salad section.
Then, the Coconut Rice
· 1 ½ cups jasmine rice
· 1 can coconut milk
· 1 cup water
· Salt
Rinse the rice- bring the above ingredients to the boil and then simmer for 10-15 mins. Turn the heat off and let it sit (with the lid on) for another 10 minutes
Whilst this is happening make the Ginger Peanut Sauce
· 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
· 2 tbsp honey
· 3 tsp freshly grated ginger
· 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
· 2 tsp sesame oil
In a small saucepan combine the above over a low heat- add water to thin to desired consistency.
Putting it together
Fluff the rice and add your vegetables.
Serve it up with the sauce and add some extra interest and texture with fried crispy shallots, roasted cashews, chopped coriander and lime wedges.
