Directions

  1. DO AHEAD OR DELEGATE: Cook the rice and the edamame, dice the carrots, slice the scallions, juice the lime, and prepare the salad dressing, or fully prepare and refrigerate the salad.

  2. (Start the eggs first, if you are serving them.) Prepare the rice and edamame according to the package directions and drain the edamame.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the rice, edamame, carrots, scallions, and dried cranberries.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and sweet and hot chili sauces. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently stir in the avocado. The salad can be chilled for up to 2 days before serving, but add the avocado just before serving.

  5. FLAVOR BOOSTER Serve with extra sweet and hot chili sauce and with extra soy sauce. Cook the rice in 1/2 water and 1/2 light coconut milk.
