Instructions

  • Place the brown rice in a pan of hot water and bring to the boil.
  • Cook for 10 minutes or until just cooked.
  • Add in the frozen soy beans and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and drain well.
  • Using a piece of kitchen roll pat the rice to get rid of any excess moisture.
  • In a large frying pan heat the sesame oil and add the spring onions.
  • Cook the spring onions for 2 minutes before adding the rice and edamame.
  • Cook the rice for another 2 minutes, stirring often to ensure it doesn't stick to the pan.
  • Move the rice mix over to one side of the pan - in the other half of the pan pour in the eggs.
  • Allow the egg to cook slightly before stirring through the rice along with the soy sauce.
  • Serve while piping hot.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
