Sushi Salad

• 1 cup brown rice, short grain
• 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 23 cup rice vinegar
• 12 teaspoon honey
• 1 cucumber, English, diced
• 1 carrot, sliced thin
• 8 ounces surimi (fake crab)
• 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
• 4 cups Baby Spinach
• 4 sheets sushi nori, cut into quarter inch wide strips

1. Early in the day pour the brown rice into a bowl and cover with water.
2. Soak for at least 4 hours.
3. This softens the rice and makes for a much nicer texture.
4. When ready to prepare the salad, drain the rice.
5. Boil 2 cups of water and stir in the rice.
6. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 30 minutes, or until water is absorbed - or make life easier and use a rice cooker.
7. After the rice is cooked, spread it onto a cookie sheet to cool.
8. In a small bowl whisk together the wasabi, soy, vinegar and honey.
9. Set aside.
10. In a large bowl combine the cooled rice, cucumber and carrot.
11. Pour the dressing over all and mix to combine.
12. Fold in the surimi.
13. Divide the spinach onto 4 plates.
14. Place sushi salad onto each portion.
15. Top with avocado slices and garnish with the nori strips.
