FRIED RICE WITH SCALLIONS, EDAMAME AND TOFU BY ELLIE KRIEGER

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet until very hot.
• Add the garlic, scallions and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the rice, red pepper, edamame, corn and tofu and stir, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Make a 3-inch well in the center of the rice mixture.
• Add 1 teaspoon of canola oil, then add the eggs and cook until nearly fully scrambled.
• Stir the eggs into the rice mixture, then add soy sauce and incorporate thoroughly.
• Serve hot.

EDAMAME "HUMMUS"

Steps:

• Set 1 tablespoon of edamame aside for a garnish. Place the rest of the edamame, tofu, salt, garlic, oil, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, plus more lemon juice, if desired. Remove to a serving bowl and garnish with reserved edamame, and some cumin.

SESAME SHRIMP FRIED RICE WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large nonstick skillet or wok over a high heat. Add the scallions, ginger and shrimp and cook stirring frequently until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the cabbage and continue cooking until it begins to soften, but is still somewhat crisp, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp-cabbage mixture to a bowl.
• Heat the sesame oil in the same skillet or wok over a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook stirring frequently, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp-cabbage mixture back to the skillet, stir in the soy sauce and sesame seeds and serve.
