1 1/2 cups shelled edamame

1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

cilantro

2 tablespoons chopped mint

Dressing: 

1/4 cup soy sauce

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons chili crisp

Heat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss rice with oil and season with salt. Spread out on prepared baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 40 minutes.
