4 servings
For the salad
- 1 cup long-grain brown rice
- 1 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 english cucumber, diced
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
For serving
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Bring 2 1/4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the brown rice and a pinch of salt, stir once, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 40–45 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice steam, covered, for 5 minutes. Spread the cooked rice in an even layer in a large mixing bowl and let it cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes — spreading it out speeds cooling and keeps the grains separate.
