Thai Inspired Brown Rice Salad

My new favorite dish on the Extreme Fat Smash diet is the Thai Inspired Brown Rice Salad. It was a nice change from soup and sandwiches I was eating last week in cycle 3.

One advantage to doing the Extreme Fat Smash diet online is that I can substitute whatever lunch comes up with the Thai salad. This feature makes it easier to get through a full package of baked tofu before it gets yucky. And as long as I have a batch of brown rice cooked up, it takes only minutes to make. Otherwise add 45 minutes or so to cook time.

The dish is also very portable. I took it with me to Costco in my Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar so I could eat while the kids had their pizza and frozen yogurt.

Preparation time: 10 mins
Makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup Brown Rice
  • 2 Tbsp. Chopped Red Onion
  • 3 Tbsp. Grated Carrot (I've also used diced orange peppers)
  • 2 oz. Silk Baked Thai Style Tofu (I used White Wave's version, which is carried in our supermarket's refrigerated organic section. I love buying from local companies!)
  • 1 Tbsp. Organic Spectrum Naturals Salad Dressing, toasted sesame, fat free (Try substituting teriyaki sauce or Paul Newman's Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing. It'll be more a few more calories.)

Directions:

  1. Make brown rice and let cool to room temp or slightly warm. If you have a batch of brown rice already made up ahead of time, microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds to warm the rice up.
  2. Toss all ingredients together when ready to serve.
