Method

  1. Cook the rice: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the rinsed rice and stir. Boil the rice for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and drain the rice. Return the rice to the pot, cover it, and let it steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

  2. Prepare the rice seasoning: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the rice vinegar, tamari, sugar, and salt. Warm the mixture, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and toss with the cooked rice.

  3. Toast the nori: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, warm the sheet of nori until it becomes crispy, flipping it halfway through, for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, tear it into quarters, crumble each piece into small pieces by hand, and drop them into the pot of rice. Stir the nori into the rice and set it aside to cool.

  4. Cook the edamame: Bring a pot of water to boil, then add the frozen edamame. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the beans are heated through. Drain and set aside.

  5. Prepare the spicy mayo sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha until well blended. Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your desired spice level.

  6. Prepare
