Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil your brown rice. Whole grain or instant rice will work nicely. You can use couscous or pasta for variety. When done, put the starch in the fridge to cool.
- 2
While the rice boils, add dressing ingredients into a mason jar or small Tupperware. Shake vigorously until mixed. Taste and tweak accordingly for a tart and sweet flavor.
- 3
Peel and chop the cucumber to 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces. Slice grape tomatoes in 1/2. Chop basil into thin slices. Dice red onion.
- 4
Throw all ingredients and dressing into large Tupperware and shake until mixed. Otherwise fold all ingredients with a large spoon until mixed together.
- 5
Serve chilled. Should be enough for a large dinner party, BBQ with friends, or multiple meals. Great for a vegetarian main dish! Try it with raisins and a couple dashes is cinnamon for a Middle Eastern twist.

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 cookpad.japan -

Pork and Salad Rice Bowl Pork and Salad Rice Bowl
In our house this is our standard rice bowl. Shredded nori seaweed goes so well with the sauce and the mayonnaise, so it's essential for me.The important part is to let the sauce with the meat juices sink into the rice at Step 5. For 4 servings. Recipe by Runako cookpad.japan -
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!

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. Fo Fa
