Ingredients

• 1 cup Edamame
• 1 cup Brown rice
• 1/2 cup Shredded carrots
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1 tbsp Tamari
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds

Steps

1. Cook the brown rice — start it first since it takes 40–45 minutes.
2. Steam or boil the edamame 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender.
3. Julienne or shred the carrots into thin sticks.
4. Slice the avocado just before assembling so it doesn't brown.
5. Build the bowl: rice, then neat piles of edamame, carrots, and avocado.
6. Drizzle with tamari and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. Toss at the table so the tamari coats everything.
