Muki-what-me?! Mukimame is simply shelled edamame, which are young soybeans. They’re rich in protein and fiber, which makes this dish extra satisfying.

Delicious meals like this can be thrown together quickly when you’ve got cooked grains on-hand. These Whole Grains For The Week can be swapped out for the cooked brown rice. You can also use microwaveable whole grain packets. These are available in the health food section of most grocery stores and only require 90 seconds in the microwave.

You can also opt for frozen steamable Asian stir fry veggies and mukimame; these can be steamed in the microwave without being removed from the package. The Asian veggies and mukimame can be found in the freezer section. Check the label on the veggies and make sure there’s no added sauce. These are often loaded with salt and sugar.
