Edamame Rice is a light, protein-rich dish made with tender green edamame and steamed rice. Quick to prepare and easy to customize, it’s perfect as a healthy side or satisfying plant-based main.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (jasmine or short-grain preferred)
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions if not already prepared. Set aside.
  2. Boil or steam frozen edamame for 3–5 minutes, then drain.
  3. In a large bowl or skillet, combine the cooked rice and edamame.
  4. Season with salt, and optionally stir in soy sauce and sesame oil for added flavor.
  5. Toss gently to combine and heat through if serving warm.
  6. Serve warm or cold, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for better texture when stir-frying.
  • Add extra veggies like corn, carrots, or bell peppers for variety.
  • Great warm or chilled—ideal for lunchboxes or meal prep.
  • For a flavor boost, stir in garlic or a splash of rice vinegar.
  • Can be made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
