A wonderful, nutritious, and hearty salad that packs a punch!

Preheat your oven to 450?F. In a small bowl, mix together extra
virgin olive oil and rice, using your hands, until the rice kernels
are evenly coated. Spread the rice on a baking sheet, declumping as
much as possible. Spread the sliced shiitake mushrooms and black
beans on separate baking sheets, making sure not to crowd the sheets
I ended up using 3 baking sheets, in total, but you may have bigger
baking sheets than I do! Sprinkle each of the trays with salt and
black pepper.Bake the beans and mushrooms for about 10 minutes, until
the beans start bursting and the shiitake mushrooms start browning.
The rice will require a bit more time to crisp--roughly 12 to 15
minutes, depending on how well you declumped them--they will be
golden brown.

Blend the Korean BBQ sauce, ssamjang, rice vinegar, 1 tb of pine nuts,
sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside until salad is
assembled.

Add the roasted black beans, red kidney beans, white beans, roasted
mushrooms, cucumbers, bell pepper, red onion, scallion greens, crispy
rice, and remaining pine nuts to a large bowl. Pour the dressing,
reserving 2 tb, and toss the contents until well-combined and evenly
coated. Taste and add additional dressing, as necessary. Season with
black pepper and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
