GINGER DRESSING

4 SERVINGS VEGAN

Here brown rice and vegetables form the foundation of a hearty meal. Fresh ginger is added to open up stuffy sinuses and ward off bacteria. Serve it on its own or as a side dish with marinated and baked tempeh.

Steam peas, carrots and corn just until tender. In medium bowl, combine brown rice, tomatoes and green onions. Add steamed vegetables and mix well.

Dressing: In small bowl, mix ginger, tamari or soy sauce, sesame seeds, miso, water and sesame oil until well-blended. Add to rice mixture and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
