Nori Edamame Rice Bowls
Nori strips finish bowls of warm rice, edamame and cucumber with a soy-vinegar dressing. The meal is assembled in layers, making it easy to keep the cucumber crisp and the rice warm. Cook the edamame separately according to its packet. Add the nori immediately before eating if you want it to retain some of its dry texture.
