Ingredients

3/4 cup white vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 cup radishes, diced
1 (15 oz) can black beans
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 bunch romaine or bibb lettuce, rinsed and pulled apart to create lettuce cups
3/4 cup rice, prepared
1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

1. Prepare slaw by bringing vinegar, sugar, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
2. Place carrots and radishes into a bowl and pour vinegar mixture over the top. Place in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
3. Put black beans in a microwaveable bowl and pour soy sauce over the top. Cover beans with a damp paper towel and microwave until beans are hot.
4. On a plate, place a lettuce leaf and layer with rice, black bean mixture, carrot-radish slaw, a drizzle of yogurt, and a bit of cilantro. The cups also go great with Hoisin sauce, Sirarcha, or Gochujang sauce.
