Ingredients

• 1 cup Jasmine rice
• 1 cup Edamame (shelled, frozen)
• 1 medium Carrot (shredded)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 2 stalks Scallions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest with the lid on for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the frozen edamame. Cook for 4-5 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables: shred the carrot, slice the red bell pepper and cucumber, and chop the scallions.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, sesame seeds, and salt to make the dressing.

Step 7

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and divide it equally between two bowls.

Step 8

Top each bowl of rice with a layer of cooked edamame, shredded carrot, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, and chopped scallions.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame dressing evenly over both bowls.

Step 10

Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.
