Do you think crushed ginger from a jar would be ok to use or is fresh grated best! Has anyone used ginger out of a jar for this recipe! Thanks

I always use fresh ginger and keep it in the freezer, grating it from frozen, so I'm never without it.Most people seem to do that - cheaper and also has more zing than the jar, I think.

does anyone know about how many the recipe would feed.I have about 18 adults coming, would just double be enough do you think

For a rule of thumb - I say 1 amount of the recipe will feed 10 people when served with other salads. So double will be plenty... and its lovely the next day as well.

Just wondering if someone would kindly post Toadies brown rice recipe for me please. I can only find posts with people saying how nice it is but have been unable to find the actual recipe even in the search board at the side.

Yes I know this is an old thread but ..........
would this be ok without the soy sauce or is that a vital ingredient?
Thanks

Hmmm, I think the liquid component of the soya sauce is importantin terms of making the salad the right consistency.. and obviously there is the 'salty' factor from the soya sauce as well.. if you can figure how to get around that...... give it a go

Thanks charlieb2 - I will have a go and see what happens - I do not like soya sauce but everyone has raved about the dish so I wanted to have a go!

nfh1... Put (whatever) the dressing you make and the seed mix etc into the dish just before you serve... Well I like it best that way...:}

thanks fisher - it sounds really good and have seen so many recommendations for it.

hmmm I thought you may be allergic, hence my comments.. can you make it up as directed (or a half measure) and then see what you think.. the lemon gives it quite a zing and tones down the soya

If its just a dislike not an allergy I would give it a go using the soya sauce (its only 1/4 cup for a large amount of rice)... as I don't taste it as soya sauce as such... as it mixes with all the flavours and gives you a different one if that makes sense.
Why don't you make it and divide the cooked rice in 2.Add half the soya to one and not the other... and then go on as usual and have 2 dishes to taste test... would be interested to hear how you got on.

Do you add the soy sauce while the rice is still hot or once cooled? Thanks!
toadfish,

While its still hot.I cook my rice in the rice cooker and as soon as it has finished I take the bowl out of the cooker and add the soya sauce and the finely chopped onion.I would so the same if it was in a saucepan... take it off the heat and add them both.

Right I have made a decision - am going to do half with soya sauce and have without and see what happens.I am not allergic, I do not like salt, so that is why I wanted to leave it out.
Thanks everyone for your help.

I made this for my "first" catering job tonight..andI got requests for the recipe from a dozen lady bowlers....it was delish....normaly always try a recipe before serving ......but on the recommendation of this message board took it as "gospel" it was a good one !!!!

I know, I have reached the stage now that if I take somewhere, I print out a copy of the recipe and take that too... as everyone wants it.... same for my green dip in a cob loaf.
