Shiitake, Broad Bean and Rice Salad
Background
This shiitake, broad bean and rice salad is a quick, satisfying meal made with leftover or pre-cooked rice. It comes together easily in one pan and works well warm or at room temperature, making it ideal for lunch, lunch boxes, picnics or travel meals.
The mushrooms are cooked until tender and slightly savoury, then combined with soy sauce, rice vinegar and fresh greens for a light but filling dish. Broad beans add texture and protein, while rocket or watercress brings a peppery freshness at the end.
It’s a simple vegan recipe that’s both practical and versatile, especially when you want something wholesome without much effort.
