INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup brown rice

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

  2. To make the dressing, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, and teriyaki sauce in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice and chicken. Stir in celery, water chestnuts, mushrooms, green onion, and red pepper. Mix with the dressing to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Toss gently before serving.

This was soooo good! I made a few adjustments that made it delish. I added about 1/4 cup of seasame oil and 1/4 cup of oyster sauce to the liquid dressing. Also, I sauted the chicken and mushrooms and bell peppers first, then let it simmer in the dressing for about 10 min. Then I added the rice, and tossed it all togethor, and eat it more like a warm rice dish than a salad! It tasted great! Will definatly make again!

Absolutely delicious!!! I followed the recipe exactly. My family enjoyed it, but didn't love it as much as I did. I ate it for the next couple of days for lunch!! Thank you for this recipe!
