My favourite Recipes

These are recipes I love and I hope you will too. Most of them are very simple and all of them are delicious. Not all of them have precise measurements, for which I apologise, but you should be able to wing it. Enjoy!

Balinese Rice Salad

This doesn't look like much, but everywhere I take it, people ask for the recipe. You might find that some of the ingredients (like the sweet chilli sauce) are hard to find if you're in the US. If you can find an Asian Grocer, you're sure to find it.

5 cups cooked basmati rice, cooled (cook about 2 1/2 cups to get 5 cups)
2 large carrots, grated
1/2 a celery, chopped
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 bunch basil, chopped
Few handfuls peanuts

Dressing:
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce
2 tblspn brown sugar
2 tblspn fish sauce
1 heaped tblspn fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon (or more) sesame oil

Combine all, adding basil, peanuts and dressing just before serving.
