Best Clean Eating Wakame Brown Rice Salad With Tofu Recipes

CLEAN EATING WAKAME BROWN RICE SALAD WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions; add carrot during last 5 minutes of cooking and mix.
• Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in a bowl with enough warm water to cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Drain and chop mushrooms.
• Transfer rice and carrots to a large mixing bowl. Add mushrooms, wakame and bell pepper. Combine well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, agave nectar (or honey), soy sauce, ginger and oil.
• Pour sauce over rice mixture and toss to combine.
• Carefully stir in tofu.
• Refrigerate for 2-4 hours for best flavor. Can be kept in refrigerator for up to 4 days.

WAKAME SEAWEED SALAD

Steps:

• Place the wakame in a large bowl and cover with the water, adding more if needed to keep wakame submerged. Soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Line a colander with a clean kitchen towel and have it standing by.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons of the rice wine vinegar with the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Whisk constantly while drizzling in the sesame oil to form an emulsion.
• When the wakame is hydrated, drain thoroughly through the prepared colander. Gather up the sides of the towel to form a pouch, then twist the towel to wring out additional water. Dry the large bowl and return the wakame to it. Top with the dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until the seaweed is cold and the dressing has been absorbed, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, peel and dice the avocado into small cubes measuring between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch. Toss in a small bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of rice wine vinegar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in the carrot and radishes, then fold this mixture gently into the wakame and serve.

BROWN RICE SALAD

• To prepare the dressing put the ingredients into a large jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well. Put aside.
