The recipe for these garlic asian greens is probably the simplest I have ever shared here on I Spy Plum Pie, but they are mighty delicious. I whip them up all the time as a side dish to go with rice and something like grilled tofu, steamed dumplings or the recipe I shared last week, miso eggplant. They take no time at all to whip up and are a tasty way to up your leafy green vegetable uptake.
After playing around with black rice after first buying it (like with this salad!) it had snuck its way to the back of my pantry and I promptly forgot about it (which possibly says a lot about the state of my pantry!) until I was looking for something to make a side dish with and stumbled across it again! Of course, you could make this salad with brown rice if you’d prefer, but there’s something about the colour and slightly nutty flavour that I really like about black rice, so if you can get your hands on it I highly recommend giving it a try!
