Black Rice and Soy Salad image

I've made this salad with Chinese black rice and with Lundberg's Japonica, and both work well. It's a salad high in omega-3 fatty acids and plant proteins - contained in the tofu, edamame and rice - and it packs well in a lunch box. Whichever type of rice you use, just follow the cooking instructions on the bag.
