1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
1 garlic clove, grated
Crispy Qetoe Rice
1 packet Qetoe Low Carb Rice, cooked
1 tbsp chilli garlic paste
2 tbsp light olive oil or avocado oil
Salad
4 Persian cucumbers, sliced
1 cup shelled edamame
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 bunch mint, chopped
1/2 bunch coriander, chopped
2 small avocados, diced
1/2 cup crushed peanuts (optional)

Directions

Crisp the Qetoe Rice
Preheat oven to 200C. Line a tray with baking paper.
Toss cooked Qetoe Rice with chilli garlic paste and oil.
Spread out evenly and bake for 25–35 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes, until dark golden and crispy. Cool completely.
Make the Dressing
Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, fish sauce, lime juice, monk fruit sweetener and garlic until smooth.
Assemble the Salad
Combine cucumbers, edamame, green onions, mint and coriander.
Add diced avocado and pour in the dressing. Toss gently.
Fold in most of the crispy Qetoe Rice, reserving a little to sprinkle on top.
Serve
Let sit for 5–10 minutes so the flavours absorb.
Top with extra crispy Qetoe Rice and peanuts if using.
