Ingredients notes and substitutes

Eggs: Room-temperature eggs are less likely to crack while boiling. If your eggs are from the refrigerator, let them sit out for 10 minutes first.

Edamame: frozen edamame works well. Steam and boil for 3-5 minutes until bright green.

Greens: Spinach can be replaced with baby kale or arugula.

Soy sauce: Soy sauce can be replaced with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free recipes.

Step-by-step instructions

Boil the eggs

Put the eggs in a pot of water and cover them with an inch of water. Bring them to a boil over high heat; then take off the pot from the stove, leaving them covered for 9-11 minutes. According to your preferences, the yolk should be soft or hard.

Chill in cold water

With a slotted spoon, transfer the egg from the saucepan to the cold water. Leave them for 5 minutes so that they will be easy to peel.

Cook the edamame.

While boiling the eggs, steam or boil the shelled edamame for 3-5 minutes until it is bright green and tender.

Prepare a dressing

Add olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl and whisk them together until they are combined.

Peel the eggs

Lightly tap and roll the egg on the counter to crack the shell throughout. Then rinse the eggs in running cold water and remove the shells and slice them into halves.

Prepare the bowl.

Distribute the greens into two separate bowls. Place cooked edamame, avocado slices, red onion, and halved eggs on the top of each portion.

Dressing

Drizzle the dressing on the top of each bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds, black pepper, and sea salt.

Extra Tips

Use slightly old eggs, then fresh eggs, as they peel far more easily once they’ve boiled.
Don’t skip the step of the ice bath; it’s the key step in obtaining well-peeled eggs.
Slice the avocado immediately before eating so that it doesn’t turn brown.
Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan for 1-2 minutes to enhance the flavor.
In case you have prepared all things ahead, refrigerate all three ingredients, avocado, shelled edamame, and eggs, in a container and combine right before eating.

Storage and Reheating

Stored in the refrigerator: Keeps boiled eggs that are unpeeled in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. In case you have peeled and cut, use within 2 days. Dressing and sliced avocado should be stored separately in a container to avoid discoloration; edamame lasts for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

Storage in freezer: This recipe cannot be frozen since hard-boiled eggs turn into rubbery and watery after freezing and defrosting, while avocados become mushy and discolored after freezing.

Reheating: This recipe cannot be reheated because this meal needs to be served either cold or at room temperature.

Common mistakes to avoid

Overcooking the eggs: overboiling eggs can result in a dry and chalky yolk with a gray-green ring around it. Always boil eggs for about 9-11 minutes and immediately put them into an ice bath.

Cutting the avocado earlier: sliced avocado will turn brown quickly, so cut it immediately before serving.

Dressing the bowl too soon: In case you are preparing your meal in advance, adding the dressing early will wet your greens and make the edamame soggy. Dress the bowl when ready to eat

Avoid ice baths: the ice bath technique stops the cooking process and makes it easier to peel the eggs.
