Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup forbidden black rice, rinsed
- 1/4 cup white miso
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon mirin, divided
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 4 Portobello mushroom caps, wiped clean
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen edamame beans
- 3 leaves Savoy cabbage, sliced into very thin strips
- 2 scallions, very thinly sliced
- 1/4 jalapeño, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoons toasted white or black sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Heat a medium to large pot filled with salted water until it starts boiling. Put the rice into the boiling water and cook uncovered until it becomes tender, which should take around 35 minutes.
- While waiting for the rice, position a rack 6 to 8 inches below the broiler and preheat it on high. Combine miso, 2 tablespoons of mirin, and freshly grated ginger in a bowl. Coat the mushrooms thoroughly with this mixture on both sides. Place them on a baking sheet lined with foil, then broil until they are tender and slightly charred, remembering to turn them once, which should take approximately 20 minutes. Set them aside.
- Mix rice vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon of mirin, and sesame oil together. Set the mixture aside.
- When the rice has been cooking for 30 minutes, add the fresh edamame beans. As the rice is just 1 minute away from being fully cooked (meaning it has boiled for 34 minutes), add the shredded cabbage. If frozen edamame is being used, add them along with the cabbage at the 34-minute mark. Drain the rice, edamame, and cabbage together using a fine-mesh colander. Transfer them to a large bowl. Mix in the dressing, jalapeno, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
- Present the rice salad with the mushrooms, which should be sliced thickly, arranged on top.
