  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Cook the rice in vegetable broth according to package instructions. Allow it to cool.
  3. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Spread the cooked rice in an even layer and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the diced bell pepper, cucumber, grated carrot, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, chili paste, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.
  6. Once the rice is crispy, let it cool slightly, then add it to the salad mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for later.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container; fresh for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet with a little oil to maintain crispiness.
