Brown Rice Salad with Grilled Prawns

by Lam Soon

A mild, nutty flavored rice salad that is just as delicious whether served hot or cold. Consider going for brown rice (instead of white) the next time you are at the supermarket. The side hulls and brans are rich in proteins, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and potassium, not to mention the grain has been proven to help weight loss!
