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

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.:}

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!

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.

DIVINE GREEN DIP. 1 Cobb Loaf, 1 onion, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp curry powder, 1 cup grated cheese, 250g cream cheese, 1/4 tsp basil, 4 silverbeet leaves (cooked & well-drained). Cut the top off & hollow out the Cobb loaf, keeping the bread to cut into small serving-sized pieces for dipping. Mix all the remaining ingredients in a food processor & then pour the mixture into the Cobb shell & place the lid on i.e. the piece cut from the top of the loaf. Bake at 150°C for 1/2 hour. Serve warm. Note: From Julia– “This is absolutely divine but the bread is not enough on its own for dipping, so I always serve other things e.g. Snax crackers, finely sliced French bread .I have also done in it in small rolls for individual dips & my Aunt has served it up as a Vegetarian meal, 1 dinner roll with filling and lots of chopped up vegetables for each person.”
Yup thats my one reposted. complete my note about my Aunt lol. just devine.

I must admit its a little like chinese whispers though. someone doesn't like sultanas so leaves them out and then when someone asks they repost there version under my name. It was only recently when I looked i thought. mmm. no sultanas. and mmmmm I have never added a pinch of salt to the dressing, not with all that soya sauce. but it really is my favourite salad. ammaking enough for 120 for a wedding next week as my present to the bride lol.
NB the above recipe has no sesame seeds and I add 1/2 cup of sultanas. not sure where the handful comes from. still any combination of nuts and seeds are nice, usually depends on what I have in the cupboards.

mmmmm I am struggling to remember. i think I made 4 x the recipe. which would have been enough if there were lots of other salads of a similiar size,Some of the others ask to bring a salad brought family size ones lol. mine was a hit and most people go some,
I brought mixed nuts instead of peanuts and made sure the top was garnished well with them. maybe hold a packet back and sprinkle over the top.I transported it to the wedding in 2 x the biggest snaplock you can get. then kjust put it into the catering bowl and sprinkled nuts & Seeds on the top.

It's what happens inevitably to recipes, with creative cooks.
Like the Colonel's secret herbs and spices, it needs to be put in a bank safety deposit box.
