Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium bowl, 2 small bowls, a sieve & a grater

Get the rice on

  • Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked
  • Add the edamame for the final minute of cooking, then drain together

Make the pickled cabbage

  • Meanwhile, zest and halve the lime. Trim and finely slice the cabbage
  • Add the cabbage to the medium bowl, squeeze in the juice from half the lime and season generously with salt. Mix and leave to pickle

Make the chilli dressing & finish the prep

  • In a small bowl, mix the yoghurt, chilli paste (add less for less heat), ginger & garlic paste, tamari and the remaining lime juice
  • Dice the avocado into 1cm chunks. Finely slice the cucumber into 1/2cm half-moons. Finely chop the coriander

Dress the crab

  • Deseed and finely dice the chilli
  • In the other small bowl, combine the crab, lime zest and chilli (for those who'd like more heat). Season with salt and pepper to taste

Plate up

  • Share the edamame rice between bowls, topped with the cucumber, pickled cabbage, avocado and crab mix. Drizzle with the chilli dressing and sprinkle over the coriander
