This salad is a delightful blend of tasty tender turkey (or you could use chicken), broccoli and carrots which are roasted until caramelised (YUM!), a super-scrumptious miso dressing which coats the nutty & chewy brown rice, all topped off with a delicious crunch from toasted sesame seeds.
Method
- Start by cooking the rice in boiling water as per directions on the pack, or as you are used to.
- Heat oven to 200 degrees and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Cut broccoli florets off the stem, then cut florets into bite-sized pieces and slice stem.
- Toss florets and broccoli stems with some olive oil, salt and pepper and spread onto one of the prepared trays
- Place in the oven for 20-30 mins, or until golden brown
- Cut carrots into large batons, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread onto the other prepared tray
- Bake for 20-30 mins or until softened and browned
- Heat a frypan over medium heat. When hot, add a drizzle of oil and cook the turkey steaks.
- When cooked, transfer to a plate or bowl and allow to cool before shredding into large pieces.
- Prepare dressing by adding miso, rice vinegar, mirin, tamari and ginger to a large bowl and whisk well.
- When the rice is cooked, drain well and allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then add to dressing and stir through to coat.
- Add turkey, roasted broccoli, carrots, coriander, sesame seeds and baby spinach leaves and mix together. Serve and enjoy.
