Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cups dry jasmine rice
- 1 (15 oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 red bell peppers, finely chopped
- 8oz shredded red cabbage
- 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 3/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cashews, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 3 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- lime wedges
- Tofu or other protein (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the dry rice well until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized pot, mix together the rice, coconut milk, garlic, salt, and water. Bring to a boil.
Once the pot reaches a rolling boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, turn off heat and let sit (with lid on) for an additional 10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
As you wait for the rice, make the peanut sauce.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until the peanut butter thins. Stir well. Add the ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir again. Thin as desired with water.
Fluff the rice and combine it with the chopped vegetables and cashews (I reserve a few whole cashews to garnish with, but it’s not necessary). Drizzle with a bit of the Ginger Peanut Sauce and taste– you might not need to use all of it. Serve with lime wedges.
