Toasted Coconut Rice Salad – The New York Times

Fluffy toasted rice meets crunchy slaw and seared tofu in my gingery, toasted rice salad. When you toast grains of rice until fragrant and golden, it takes on this nutty flavor that adds complexity to whatever you’re making. The dressing is punchy and bright with subtle heat, and it pairs perfectly with the softer flavors of the rice. Finished with lots of cabbage, herbs for a fresh pop and roasted cashews for crisp, crunchy texture, and you have a super-satisfying meal.
