Note

Note: The original source text included instructions for "English Dumplings" involving suet, currants, and egg yolks. These ingredients and steps have been excluded as they do not align with the "Steamed Rice Salad" title or the "Vegan" tag. The dumpling recipe appears to be a separate dish erroneously included in the source data.

For a vegan version, ensure you use a vegan-friendly mayonnaise.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

You can substitute the red beets with sliced radishes or cucumber for a different color and flavor profile.
