We are getting to the middle of Summer, and all of it’s heat. When it’s hot outside, I don’t like to eat really heavy, so I am all about finding and creating new and tasty salads. After some thought and collaborating, I came up with this Thai Brown Rice Salad, which is heavenly! I was recently sent several varieties of Hinode Rice products, and I really wanted to use the Calrose Brown Rice in a summer-y salad. I went back and forth with some different ingredients and knew that I wanted something really colorful, for Summer. I finally decided on something that would come across as a Thai tasting dish. The peanuts, pineapple and ginger tasting teriyaki sauce really do that for this salad. It is simple to make and would be great to serve at any upcoming 4th of July barbecues that you might have.

    We love making fried rice with our leftovers, nom, nom, nom. We eat rice nearly 365 days a year.

    My fave way to eat rice is I mix brown rice with whatever fresh or frozen veggies I have and then put a little sweet teriyaki sauce on it and mix it all up!

    Love to try this rice with some chicken and sauce. Oh course vidalia onion, celery and bell peppers.

    my kids love for me to slightly cook hotdogs, then mix with rice and onions.. we call it Hotdogs and rice. Odd… but really good =)

    I love all forms of rice. The hubby and I made the best homemade fried rice. I use Jasmine Rice with a lot of my dinners, and brown rice is a very yummy alternative as well. The little microwaveable, one-serving Minute Rices are also very good with tuna or chicken in the can.

    my husband loves rice pudding and I make it at least once a week, many different ways.

    I love rice any way you can make it! I love it plain steamed, fried rice, rice balls, rice pudding, you name it! But just plain steamed rice is my favorite, especially if it is Hinode!!
    I love this beautiful rice salad you shared and I can’t wait to try it myself! Thanks!

    Being married to a Chinese man means that we eat rice almost every day. There is no way to avoid that.

    I simply love rice: in salads, plain, steamed, with tomato gravy, pudding, you name it. My very favorite is probably a seafood salad…

    My favorite way to eat rice is to prepare it like sushi rice and add some ponzu sauce and sesame seeds (and if there is sushi attached to the rice well, I think that’s the best 🙂 )

    I love white rice served with pepper steak! I usually cut the steak into thin strips and cook it in a small amount of oil. I add sliced onions while I cook the steak, and gradually add in green bell pepper strips and finally tomatoes cut into strips. I then add my beef broth, cook until bubbly, and then stir in a little cold water with cornstarch, and continue cooking until it thickens. I serve this over the prepared rice, and YUMMY!!

    I am going gluten free, so I am always looking for new and different brown rice recipes. I like brown rice, chicken and beans.

    My favorite way to eat rice is probably fried, but I really like white rice with butter and sugar, too!
