Ingredients

2 handfuls snap peas (strings removed)
1 to 2 cups cooked short grain white rice
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 small carrot (sliced into very thin coins)
½ English cucumber (thinly sliced into coins)
1 small ripe ataulfo mango (diced)
½ cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tablespoons pickled ginger
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
¼ cup toasted peanuts (optional)

2 tablespoons tamari (more for serving)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoons cane sugar
½ teaspoon sriracha (more for serving)

Steps:

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, cane sugar, and sriracha.
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and place a bowl of ice water nearby. Blanch the snap peas by placing them in the boiling water for 1½ minutes, then scoop them into the ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain, pat dry, and chop.
Assemble the bowls with the rice, shredded cabbage, carrot, cucumber, mango, black beans, pickled ginger, and basil. Top with the toasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and avocado, if using. Drizzle bowls with half the dressing and serve the rest on the side along with tamari and sriracha, if desired.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sushi rice, rinsed thoroughly
Kosher salt
4 scallions, thinly sliced
One 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
One 1 3/4-pound watermelon wedge, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 large or 2 medium avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
2 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
Furikake seasoning or toasted sesame seeds, for serving (see Chef's Note)

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt and return to a boil. Stir once, then cover and cook over low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steam for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the scallions with the ginger, soy sauce, canola oil and 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar. Add the watermelon and gently toss to coat. Let marinate while you prepare the rest of the recipe. Stir gently occasionally.
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sriracha.
Gently fluff the sushi rice with a fork or rice paddle. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the remaining 1/4 cup rice vinegar until dissolved. Drizzle over the rice and then gently fold the rice to mix.
Divide the rice between 4 bowls and top with the avocado, cucumbers and watermelon. Drizzle with the sriracha mayo and sprinkle generously with the furikake. Serve.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOY, GINGER AND GARLIC

Cucumber Salad With Soy, Ginger and Garlic image

The trick to any sliced cucumber salad is to slice the cucumbers as thin as you can and to purge them by salting them before making the salad so the dressing doesn't get watered down by the cucumber juice.

Tips:

Use ripe watermelon: The riper the watermelon, the sweeter and more flavorful it will be.
Choose a good quality soy sauce: A dark, aged soy sauce will add more flavor to the dish.
Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and basil, will add a pop of flavor to the dish.
Serve the bowls immediately: The watermelon and cucumber will wilt if they sit for too long.

Soy ginger watermelon rice bowls are a refreshing and healthy summer meal. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. If you are looking for a light and flavorful meal, this is the recipe for you.
