Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shelled edamame
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 2 tbsp sesame ginger dressing
Instructions
- Cook your brown rice. If you’re using a rice cooker, follow the standard ratios. For stovetop, use a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes.
- Prepare the edamame. If using frozen, boil for 3-4 minutes until heated through, then drain and rinse. If fresh, steam until tender.
- Shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor until you have about 2 cups.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
- Assemble your bowl by layering the cooked brown rice, followed by edamame, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices.
- Drizzle the sesame ginger dressing over the bowl just before serving.
- Dig in and enjoy!
Notes
For meal prep, keep the dressing separate until serving to maintain freshness.
