Ingredients

Salad

3 cups cooked white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup diced red bell pepper about 1 medium pepper
1 cup sliced Persian cucumbers about 4 cucumbers
1 cup diced avocado
½ cup shelled edamame
½ cup diced mango
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup chopped peanuts
¼ cup sliced green onions
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint

Tahini Dressing

½ cup tahini
1 tablespoon chili crisp oil
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 3 cups cooked white rice to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce until evenly coated. Spread the rice out on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the rice is golden and crispy. Let it cool completely, then break it apart as much as desired.
Make the dressing by whisking ½ cup tahini, 1 tablespoon chili crisp oil, ½ teaspoon minced garlic, ½ teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon sesame oil together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Assemble the salad by adding the cooled, crispy rice, 2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 cup sliced Persian cucumbers, 1 cup diced avocado, ½ cup shelled edamame, ½ cup diced mango, ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, ¼ cup chopped peanuts, ¼ cup sliced green onions, and 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint to a large serving bowl.
Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
