Cooking Notes
This recipe is a great starting point. I usually add green onions, nori, and diced avocado and sometimes make a miso or wasabi dressing. Black rice is a delicious alternative, too.
Made this with some tiny bok choy & baby spinach sweated with garlic & lemon juice, then stirred into regular brown rice with soy sauce per the recipe. Served with oven grilled salmon with soy glaze on top. Nice. And easy. My guests, who are gluten free, loved it! I'll definitely do it again.
I had leftover piece of smoked trout and regular brown rice to use up and found this unexpectedly tasty recipe. Besides adding suggested green onions, avocado and furikake, I also added a few drops of toasted sesame seed oil. I'll be making this again soon but with my sprouted rice.
Delicious. Used Furikake seasoning and dried seaweed as a topper. Sweated the spinach with garlic and lemon juice as another reader suggested. Love it!
Oh my. This is a superb addition to my repertoire: clean, fresh delicious flavours. We added a few slices of avocado on the side, as it pairs very well with the trout. As I had some troubles sourcing sprouted brown rice (it’s Sydney, Australia, after all and you’d think they would have it here) I made my own and loved it. Instead or regular soy sauce I added usukuchi, which worked a treat with the rice.
Just made this with California Koshihikari Haiga short grain rice sourced from Marukai Japanese market and smoked trout from Trader Joe’s. It tasted like Cold Sesame noodles for grownups. Do I ever have to eat anything else for dinner?

Also like it made with quinoa.
Made with black rice and smoked salmon because that's what was available at my grocery store. Extremely easy and really tasty.

We used salmon which was pan roasted Mark Bittman style using an extra measure of olive oil infused with lemon zest to baste. We tossed the brown rice and chopped arugula with toasted sesame seeds and ponzu.
We didn't have smoked trout so we bought a fresh hake and baked it with oil and a little bit of lemon. We waited for it to cold down a little and mix it with the other ingredients.
We also added some (very little) tomato pieces.
Great dish :)
