Rice and Chinese Cabbage Salad

There weren't enough fields to include dressing ingredients, so here they are:

1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

While you wash and shred all your cabbage, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Plunge the shredded cabbage into the boiling water and after one minute, drain it and rinse with cold water. This blanching will take any bitter edge from the cabbage.

Press the cabbage well in the colander to get rid of all excess moisture, then combine the cabbage with the cooked brown rice, shredded carrots, green onions, peanuts and cilantro. Toss well.

Whisk together all the ingredients of the dressing, pour it over the salad and toss again.

Serve the salad plain, over mixed greens, or with slices of grilled tofu arranged on it.
