Black Rice Salad with Miso Dressing
Ingredients
Save time by using pre-shredded carrots and frozen edamame. If black rice is hard to find at your local grocery store, brown or wild rice will make solid substitutes. If cilantro is a battleground ingredient in your house, serve it on the side so diners can enjoy it to taste.
1/2 c. black rice
14 oz. block extra firm tofu
2 t. canola oil
2 t. low-sodium soy sauce
fresh ground pepper
1 c. carrots, shredded
3/4 c. edamame, cooked and shelled
3 T. sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
Miso Dressing:
2 T. white miso
2 T. agave nectar
1 T. sesame oil
2 1/2 T. rice vinegar
