Brown Jasmine Rice Salad

Ingredients

1 c cilantro
6 slices ginger
3 1/2 t lime juice
1/2 c soy sauce
2 1/2 c water
1/2 c honey
1 t chilli
1 c green beans thinly
1 c snow peas
1 slice cucumber thinly
1 bean sprouts
1 orange
1 tart apple
1 package water chestnuts

Instructions

Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients in saucepan, bring to rolling boil. Reduce heat, simmer until sauce is consistency of maple syrup, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. My personal preference is to half the soy sauce, water and honey or brn. sugar. You may want to experiment by making a whole batch and adding it to the salad to suit your preference. I used a considerable amount more cilantro, lime, and ginger than the recipe calls for but I love spicy things. Combine salad ingredients, drizzle sauce over and toss gently. Chill and serve.
