Method
 

  1. Start by heating 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add your cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps as you go along. Stir-fry until the rice becomes golden brown and crispy, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter (or tahini), soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and chili crisp until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, grated carrot, sugar snap peas, and green onions. Toss gently to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
  4. Once your crispy rice has cooled slightly, add it into the bowl of mixed vegetables along with the dressing you prepared earlier. Toss everything together until all components are well coated in that delicious peanut sesame dressing.
