Drain well and set this mixture aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, chop your herbs (cilantro, mint, green onions) and set them aside and then prepare your dressing. In a small bowl mix together the rice vinegar, coconut sugar, Bragg’s Aminos and toasted sesame oil. Add salt and black pepper to taste if you like.

Chill for about an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
