Brown Rice and Edamame

From Recipezaar.com



Ingredients:
3/4 cup long grain brown rice
1 1/4 cups frozen edamame, shelled
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, toasted
1/2 teaspoon sugar
crushed red pepper flakes
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
salt
pepper

Directions:
In a med saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups lightly salted water to boil. Add rice, reduce to a simmer; cover and cook, 30 minutes. Stir in edamame; cover and cook until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together lime juice, vinegar, oil, red pepper flakes and sugar until sugar is dissolved. With a fork, stir in lime juice mixture and scallions into rice; season with salt and pepper.

Comments:
I was finally able to track down some edamame. None of the grocery stores we usually go to carry it. What's up with that? Anyway, I tried this as my first edamame experience. I think they might have been undercooked, but it was still pretty good. They don't really have a flavor of their own, but the vinegar/sesame/sugar mixture and the scallions helped that along. I'm looking for other recipes for edamame. Let me know if you have a good one.
