Cabbage and Snow Pea Rice Bowl with Warm Coconut Peanut Sauce // Uses Napa Cabbage, Radishes, Scallions
Adapted from Bon Appetit magazine by The Leek & The Carrot
Takes 1 hour
Serves 8 to 12 (even more if eaten as a side dish only)
4-1/2 cups water
2 cups brown rice
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 head Napa cabbage, cleaned and thinly sliced (Slice the white stem and green leafy portion together.)
1/2 pound snow peas, ends removed and sliced
1 bunch radish, greens removed, cut in half and thinly sliced
1 bunch scallions, sliced (Use all parts of the scallions.)
Warm Peanut Sauce:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
Juice from 1 lime (or 2 tablespoons lime juice)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
- Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan on the stove top over high heat. Once boiling, add rice and salt and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 50 minutes (or less, depending on your type of rice; read the package directions).
- While the rice cooks, prepare your veggies. In a (seriously really) large bowl, toss napa cabbage, snow peas, radishes, and scallions together.
- When the rice has about 10 minutes left to cook, begin the sauce. Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, brown sugar, soy sauce or tamari, lime juice, fish sauce and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan. Whisk together until smooth. Place on stove and turn heat to medium. Whisk until smooth and hot. If it seems too thick, add a bit of water and whisk it in. You will want the dressing to be warm to wilt the greens.
- Serve in a bowl with the ratio of about a 1/2 cup of rice to 2 cups of veggies. Pour about 1/4 cup of peanut sauce over the greens and toss gently to coat.
