Tomato Broth Edamame with Chewy Rice Wrapper Bites

5 from 1 review
This recipe is the epitome of having FUN with summer ingredients. It takes a humble tomato and turns it into an interesting, vibrant, healthy dinner for one. The other perk? No cooking and it takes minutes. If you want a little more fun in your dinners, I love this recipe as a weeknight starter kit.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large beefsteak tomato, 255 grams
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 2 spring roll wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp
  • 1 cup edamame, shells removed
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced, optional for serving
  • 1 cup steamed white rice, optional for serving

Instructions 

  1. Halve the tomato. Using a box grater or rasp-style grater, grate the tomato over a sieve into a bowl. Press the tomato “broth” into the bottom of the bowl. Discard the peels and seeds or save them for a later use (see Note).
  2. Grate in 1 garlic clove and 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Stir in 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, taste and add more as you prefer. Set this aside.
  3. Dip a spring roll wrapper in water, then move it to a cutting board. Quarter the wrapper with a knife, then scrunch each quarter up into a ball. It should be sticky so you should be able to! Repeat this until you have eight little rice wrapper “balls.”
  4. In a small dish, mix together 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon chili crisp. Lightly dip each rice wrapper ball into the mixture. They will look glossy and red. Set them aside.
  5. In a bowl, add a large pile of edamame. Pour the tomato broth around it. Dot the top of the edamame with the rice wrapper bites. Garnish with scallions.
  6. Serve either as-is or with steamed white rice!

Notes

Note: A great use for the seeds and peel of the tomato is to chop them up and add them to 1/2 cup of your favorite mayonnaise brand. Add a few cracks of black pepper and you have a delicious tomato aioli to use throughout the week.
