Edamame Fried Rice
Description
The recipe utilizes leftover cooked brown rice, which is stir-fried with white and whole scrambled eggs for a varied texture and added protein. Onions, garlic, shredded carrots, and shelled edamame are cooked briefly in a hot wok to maintain some crunch. The eggs are cooked first, removed, and then returned to the wok after combining the vegetables and rice along with soy sauce and scallions.
Cooking the vegetables just long enough prevents burning while developing flavor. The use of tamari soy sauce allows control over saltiness and gluten-free preparation if needed. The contrast of white and green parts of scallions added at different stages enriches the dish’s flavor and aroma.
This Edamame Fried Rice works well as a main dish or a side to Asian-inspired meals. It’s a practical use of leftover rice and vegetables, providing a balanced combination of carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and vegetables.
