Ingredients

For the Crispy Rice Salad

  • 2 cups cooked and cooled rice

  • 3 tsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp Morella Grove Gourmet Chilli Crunch

  • 1 large cucumber, finely sliced

  • 1 cup edamame beans

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 3 spring onions, chopped

  • ½ cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped

For the Satay Dressing

  • 2 tbsp Morella Grove Satay

  • 3 tsp soy sauce

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Method

1. Prepare the Crispy Rice

Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Spread the cooked and cooled rice evenly over the tray.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and Morella Grove Gourmet Chilli Crunch. Pour over the rice and toss until evenly coated.

Spread into a thin layer and bake for approximately 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy.

2. Make the Satay Dressing

In a small bowl or jar, combine the Morella Grove Satay, soy sauce, crushed garlic, lemon juice and maple syrup.

Whisk or shake until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the Salad

In a large serving bowl, combine the cucumber, edamame beans, celery, spring onions and fresh coriander.

Pour over the Satay dressing and gently toss to coat the vegetables.

Add the crispy rice just before serving and toss lightly to combine, keeping that delicious crunch.

4. Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while the rice is beautifully crispy.

For those who love a little extra heat, finish with another spoonful of Morella Grove Gourmet Chilli Crunch.
