Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice

Vegetables and Dressing

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for roasting)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 3 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • A splash of water (to thin dressing)

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook rice: Prepare the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and allow it to cool slightly to room temperature.
  2. Roast vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces and toss them with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, and a splash of water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled jasmine rice with the roasted vegetables. Pour the prepared dressing over the rice and vegetables and toss gently to evenly coat all ingredients.
  5. Serve: Divide the salad into serving bowls and garnish each with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Allowing the rice to cool slightly before combining prevents the dressing from becoming too diluted.
  • Feel free to use any seasonal vegetables you prefer for roasting.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spiciness level of the salad.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
  • This salad can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any season.
