This might just be one of the most epic salads I’ve ever thrown together—it’s a full-on flavor explosion in every single bite. To keep it high-protein and low-carb, I used my Kaizen rice (20g protein, just 6g net carbs per serving!), but you can easily swap in basmati, jasmine, or even quinoa if you’re not watching carbs.
The magic? Serving it fresh so that crispy rice stays crunchy and golden. This makes a few servings, and you can totally boost it with grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein power.
How to make this flavor-packed salad:
1. Cook the rice
Use one 8 oz bag of Kaizen rice (or 1 ¼ cup regular rice) and cook as directed.
2. Flavor it up
In a large bowl, mix the hot cooked rice with 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil + 1 ½ tbsp red curry paste (I used the canned Maesri—super easy to find at Asian markets). Mix well so every grain is coated.
3. Crisp it
Spread the rice out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin, even layer (no clumps!) and drizzle 2 tbsp oil on top. Bake at 425°F for 22–25 mins, stirring at the 22-min mark to break it up, then bake another 8–10 mins until crispy. Let cool fully so it gets that ultimate crunch.
4. Build the salad
Thinly slice 5–6 Persian cucumbers, a shallot, toss with a big handful of chopped cilantro + mint, and ⅓ cup roasted peanuts.
5. Whisk the dressing
Mix juice of 1 big lime, 2 ½ tbsp fish sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp fresh ginger, 1–2 tbsp garlic chili crunch (Fly by Jing is 🔥), and 1–2 tbsp monkfruit or sweetener of choice. Taste and tweak!
6. Assemble & enjoy
Top the greens with crispy rice, drizzle the dressing, toss, add more garlic chili crunch if you love the heat, and dig in.

Enjoy your healthy bite
