Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut daikon radish

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup basmati rice

Dressing:

  • 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon chile paste (such as sambal oelek), or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Whisk rice vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl; add carrots and radish and stir until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend, at least 1 hour. Drain.

  2. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread rice out on a baking sheet and cool to room temperature.

  3. Whisk vegetable oil, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, chile paste, and remaining salt together in a large bowl. Add rice, drained carrot mixture, cilantro, peanuts, and green onions to the bowl; stir until salad is well-coated. Serve warm or cold.
