Forbidden Salad

You will need:
1 cup spicy cabbage kimchee
1 cup forbidden rice
4 tb honey (tupelo is a good choice)
1 tb rice vinegar
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
A smattering of crushed red pepper flakes
2-6 Red Savina habaneros, finely chopped


You shall not pass. What's that you say, you have brought for me a gift of forbidden salad? Very well then, you may proceed. 

Used for centuries to assuage trolls, bribe guardsmen, and win the affections of fair maidens, Forbidden Salad tastes great and might even serve to ward off evil spirits. Well, it'll ward off anyone who is not an extremophile at least!

Bring some water to boil in a pot. You can use a little bit less water than you would use for most other types of rice, because this forbidden rice doesn't suck up quite as much moisture. While you're waiting for the water to boil, let's start in on the dressing. Combine the honey, ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Throw in however much salt and pepper you deem appropriate. Simmer that all together over low heat.

Add the demon rice to the boiling water and turn down that heat and cover the pot. You know the drill, right? This rice is going to need some time to cook, probably 25 min or so, but you can always check it out sooner if you like. In fact this salad does well with a rice that is ever so slightly al dente. Once the rice is finished and drained, it's time for the fun!

Just mix everything together! Be sure you have a maniacal look on your face while you stir! You're combining the dressing, the kimchee, the rice, and the red habaneros all together in a mixing bowl. Oh you haven't had this much fun since the last extreme foods recipe you made! Once it's all blended, cover the bowl with some saran wrap and put the salad into the fridge for at least an hour or so. Then it's ready to enjoy! No troll or black knight is gonna be able to stand in your way, so I know you're gonna cross that bridge when you come to it!
