a spring meal for the arrival of good days!

Who says beautiful days, says sun, heat (or at least the coat without…), walk in the fresh air without fear of catching a bad cold, barbecue…! We wanted to celebrate the arrival of spring with something special. We have concocted a meal worthy of the greatest healthy chefs on this earth, finally just to tell you that you can have peace of mind and eat healthy while enjoying yourself!

On the program, OWARI offers you for:

  • The starter : a salad of vinegared rice
  • The main course : pan-fried spring vegetables
  • The dessert : a chia pudding with mango

VINEGAR RICE SALAD

THE INGREDIENTS :
  • 133g round rice
  • 13 cl of water

  • 2/3 of a teaspoon of sugar

1) Wash the rice 3 times until the water runs clear.
2) Place the rice in a saucepan, then pour the 400ml of water (the water must cover the rice).
3) Cover with a plate/lid…
4) Put the heat on high until it boils then reduce the heat to medium for 10 minutes.
5) Let the steam infiltrate and rest for another ten minutes.
6) Meanwhile, heat the vinegar with the sugar and salt over medium heat. As soon as the sugar melts, let cool.
7) Gently mix the rice and vinegar together.
8) Now all you have to do is wait for the rice to cool down so it can get sticky.
