Instructions

MAKE THE DRESSING:

  • In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup (or bowl with spout) measure and add low-sodium soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and olive oil, brown sugar, lime juice and garlic. Whisk well to combine.

MAKE THE RICE:

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchement.
  • Toss rice with chili garlic paste and oil. Spread evenly on prepare pan. Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, tossing and spreading evenly every 10 minutes until deeply golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.

MAKE THE SALAD:

  • Meanwhile, add cucumber, shelled edamame, green onions, mint and cilantro into a bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Add the avocado and pour in the dressing. Gently toss to combine.
  • I like to give this salad some time to soak up a little of the dressing before giving it one final toss before serving.
