For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup Peanuts roasted (cleaned and skinless)

- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce optional but highly recommended
- 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar

Notes
To cook black rice, use a ratio of 1:2 (rice to water). It's recommended that you soak the rice, but I didn't and it took me about 45 minutes to cook the rice.
