Cold rice salad with apples and cashews, Indian-style
Still experimenting with Indian flavors. I did measure things out this time but, of course, all proportions are a matter of taste, especially spices. This is my first time using chaat masala and cardamom so definitely still tinkering with quantities but we liked this enough to share it.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat coconut oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat, then add the cardamom, cumin, coriander, and mustard, and bloom until fragrant, about 30 sec to a minute.
- 2
Lower heat to low-medium, add in rice, then season to taste with salt. Add in turmeric and chaat masala, and mix. Heat for about five minutes, mixing often, then remove from heat.
- 3
Peel and core the apple and cut into small chunks. Melt butter and stir in jaggery paste until dissolved, then add apples. Coat well and cook over medium-high heat until apples turn brown and tender but are still firm (3 to 5 mins).
- 4
In a large bowl, mix together the rice, apples, chopped cashews, and diced onions. Refrigerate until cool.
- 5
Just before serving, add mint and mix thoroughly. Serve as is or with yogurt on the side.

Cold rice salad with apples and toasted cashews, Western-style Cold rice salad with apples and toasted cashews, Western-style
A simpler, Western version of the Indian-style rice salad that I previously posted, with a fresh combination of herbal, fruity, and nutty tastes. A good use for that cold rice sitting in the back of your fridge. Since I think I entered this in the dorm room contest, I'll say that the total cost of ingredients is about two US dollars.

Rice Salad with Tomatoes, Shimeji Mushrooms, and Watercress Rice Salad with Tomatoes, Shimeji Mushrooms, and Watercress
I had planned to use some leftover cooked rice to make rice croquettes, but somewhere during the process I realized my rice was too wet to work with, so I changed plans and added watercress to make a rice salad. I thought it would go well with my main dish, chicken piccata. The flavors combined really well with the seasonings.The flavour of the dish will change considerably depending on the variety and ripeness of your tomato. I think an acidic and savoury tomato is better than sweet ones. The dish is best once it has cooled, and the flavours have melded. The kombu garlic dressing can be used in many dishes, so make some to keep on hand. Recipe by Kaichou Washoku

Brown rice and tuna salad Brown rice and tuna salad
Couscous and lentils are a no for type O like me. Meanwhile, here where I am from, Quinoa isn't easily available especially this community quarantine. Thus, I came up with this idea instead. I enjoy eating it warm, or cold.So, don't worry if this recipe makes more than 1 serving as it is an excellent advance packed lunch recipe. This salad actually taste better the next day!

Korean Chicken Rice Salad/Bowl Korean Chicken Rice Salad/Bowl
I needed healthy, but wanted the flavors of Korea. My wife wanted rice, so I kind of fudged a Vietnamese style noodle salad, and created this. My wife really liked it, I prefer noodles myself, it's more a texture thing. This is still pretty good, and healthy overall. Sorry of like a bibimbap, but more lettuce replacing some of the rice, and a not spicy sauce instead.It lends itself to what you have on hand, and is not really difficult.

Tuna and rice savory, spicy warm salad Tuna and rice savory, spicy warm salad
This dish came from just loving certain flavors/textures all together. Like a sushi roll without the nori. It was so good i forgot the nori and avocado in the picture lol and i have some. The only warm ingredient is the rice. Cucumber and avocado are cool. 😋 Japanese dishes use spicy mayonaise in so many awesome ways.

Garlic Pork Salad/Rice Bowl Garlic Pork Salad/Rice Bowl
This was an attempt at a flavor full yet slightly healthy dish. It actually worked out really well. You could use any meat or tofu. The veggies you use can be your choice. This is one of those "let's see what I have" sort of meals. This is garlicky, but that was my goal. But for us, not overpowering. It looks complicated, but it wasn't really. I used red leaf lettuce, I suggest a not to stiff type, or you can cut it smaller if you use something like Romain.
