Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the rice and water into a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Place over a medium heat, bring to a simmer and cook for 30-35 minutes, until the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it steam in the residual heat for 10 minutes, until tender and fluffy. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

3

While the rice is steaming make the dressing by placing all ingredients into a bowl and stirring to combine. You may need to add extra water depending on the thickness of your tahini.

4

Arrange the rice and all other components in bowls. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

The dressing is the absolute star in this recipe! It brings all the other ingredients together, even the kimchi. Didn’t have any radish so substituted finely sliced celery instead. Will have this again.

A hit for all ages of the family. Love the dressing. Added all sorts of other goodies on hand, rocket, avocado, cuccumber, red cabbage. Very versatile recipe.

Delicious, Friday nights are a busy one in our house so these diversity bowls are becoming a bit of a regular, super quick to throw together but still really tasty and satisfying.

Sara Last year

Really enjoyed this. I used crunchy peanut butter instead of tahini. Cooked my salmon but cheated with the rice. I’m going to make it again this evening!

An-Gie Last year

We had this for dinner today and it was absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed it. We haven’t tried it with salmon yet, but we did have it with barramundi and it tasted fantastic with the tahini sauce! Definitely a five-star meal!

Jayne Last year

Sina Last year

I used salmon filet and fried it in the pan. The bowl was absolutely delicious!

Rebekkah Last year
