PREP TIME 15m	TOTAL TIME 15m
YIELD 1 bowl

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the rice, vinegar, sesame seeds, salt, and sugar.

MAKE THE CREAMY SESAME-WASABI DRESSING:

Add all ingredients to a small bowl. Stir briskly with a whisk until combined and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more olive oil to thin it out.

ASSEMBLE YOUR VEGGIE ROLL RICE BOWLS:

Place the rice in the bowl. Top with cucumbers, carrots, avocado, and edamame. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds. Serve.
Recipe time does not account for cooking the rice. Add 40-50 minutes if you need to cook your rice first. My favorite way to cook brown rice is to cook it like pasta – seriously! Read about it here.

* To toast sesame seeds, add raw sesame seeds to a small saute pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden brown, about 5 minutes.

MEAT OPTION:

Add cooked diced chicken.
