Method

Cook the eggs & edamame beans & asparagus

Cook the eggs in boiling salted water. For a slightly jammy egg, boil room temperature eggs for 6 minutes (8 minutes if you like a harder yolk). Remove the eggs once cooked with a slotted spoon.
Cool in cold running water, peel and slice into quarters.
When you take the eggs out, leave the water in the pan and cook the edamame beans and asparagus for 3 - 5 minutes, then drain. Slice the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.

Make the green goddess dressing

Peel the garlic cloves. Juice the lemon.
In a blender or food processor, blitz together the spinach, basil leaves, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, olive oil and a handful of the edamame beans. Add a splash of water if needed. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste, adding another splash of water if needed.

Prep the salad ingredients

Finely chop the little gem lettuce and spring onions.

Cook the Veetee Thai Jasmine Rice

Cook the Veetee Thai Jasmine Rice in the microwave according to the packet instructions, usually 2 minutes. Once cooked, fluff it up with a fork.

Plate Up

Divide the Veetee Thai Jasmine Rice between bowls.
