Garlic Girl’s Brown Rice, Edamame and Green Pea Salad

August 28, 2010 by Garlic Girl 2 Comments

There are some dishes I make that I can’t wait to share because I want others to be able to enjoy too. And there are other dishes that I immediately post just because I don’t want to forget about it, mainly so I can enjoy it again. Seriously! I think that’s one of the disadvantages to creating original dishes: you forget what you did and you can’t look it up! It’s not that the dish is complicated, on the contrary, it’s so simple that I think I’ll surely remember it, but I almost always forget! This simple, simple salad or side dish takes only a few minutes, especially if you have already cooked the rice. It’s really satisfying with the nutty brown rice, and the greens beans and the FRESH PEAS (if you haven’t prepared fresh peas, there is a world of difference between canned and frozen peas). But I’ll share more about that in a future post. Anyway, I’ve not seen this salad or combination in my food explorations, but somehow it just makes sense!
Garlic Girl’s Brown Rice, Edamame and Green Pea Salad

Serves four

Prep Time – about 20-30 minutes
Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown rice
1 small bag, frozen and shelled edamame – cooked according to package directions
about 20 fresh pea pods, shelled (of course the fresh peas are optional, you can use
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Dressing

A little of each of the following:
tamari or soy sauce
extra virgin olive oil
rice vinegar (I use brown rice vinegar, but you can use your favorite light vinegar)
Optional – add a little bit of wasabi

Preparation

– After the peas have been shelled, cook peas in hot water for just a minute or two until tender. They cook very fast! Drain.

– Toss the cooked rice, edamame and cooked peas together in a medium bowl.

– Splash in a little oil, vinegar and tamari. Use very little of each and taste. If you want it more savory, add more tamari, more tart – add a little more vinegar, etc.

– To serve, you don’t have to, but you can gently push the salad  into a small bowl or mold and flip over gently on to serving plate. It’s an attractive way to serve this salad.

Optional:

I wrapped this rice combo in roasted seaweed and enjoyed with a little wasabi dressing. I would totally recommend it! Check it out – you should try it! What a tasty and healthy dish or snack
Enjoy!

    Ooo, I have edamame in the freezer just waiting to be used in something like this. I like the snack wrap too.
