Black Rice Salad with Mango and Peanuts

Black Rice with Mango Salad

This Bon Appetit rice salad was easy and delicious. It also could easily be made vegetarian (and is already gluten free) by omitting the fish sauce or replacing it with soy sauce. The fish sauce smell can be a bit off-putting on the first day, so if you're not a fan, just skip it.

Serves 2-4

1 orange
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
1 cup black rice (preferably Lotus Foods Forbidden Rice)

We first went to Ba Bay a few months after it opened, and found it... just OK. Nothing special, but not going back on the list of restaurants to return to anytime soon. With some guests in town, we returned and were pleasantly surprised. The food quality was improved across the board, and some of the food stood out. The red cabbage slaw was perfectly crunchy, the crispy calamari was tender and perfectly spiced, and the Uncle Ho's Fried Chicken balanced tasty chicken, whimsy, and authentic flavors.
