Ingredients

1 cup black rice (rinsed and drained)
4 cups water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 small shallot (or 2 teaspoons minced red onion)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons Asian Chili-Garlic Sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 cup sugar snap peas (cut into 1-2 inch pieces)
5 radishes (- sliced thinly)
1 red or yellow bell pepper (seeded and chopped)

Steps:

Place black rice, salt, and water in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil and cook until the rice is tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain and let it cool.

To assemble the salad, place now-cooled black rice, sugar snap peas (or shelled edamame), radishes, bell pepper, and cilantro in a large salad bowl. Drizzle it with the dressing and give it a gentle toss.
Give it a taste for seasoning and add in if necessary. Serve.
