Chicken-wise, I made this sunday night and it was very yummy. We had leftovers last night---still good. I used one cup of uncoocked brown rice because I thought from reading the recipie that the 1 1/2 cups were referring to rice after it was cooked. I thought I'd cook the one cup and have leftover rice. Yes, I know, I'm a cooking newbie. Anyway, this was easy to make and enough for 4 meals if you only use 1 cup of uncooked rice. I also used the frozen shelled edamame, and pecans insread of walnuts, because that's what I had on hand. It was very healthy and filling.

recipe
By cooking the rice and toasting the walnuts ahead, you can take this dish from skillet to table in a very short time.
Servings: Makes 6 servings. 3 1/2 forks rating
Ingredients
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 tablespoons tamari soy sauce* or low-sodium soy sauce
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon honey
4 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice, cooked according to package directions, cooled
2 cups shelled cooked edamame beans (from about 26 ounces of pods)
2/3 cup chopped green onions
Preparation
Stir walnuts in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons tamari over walnuts; stir until tamari coats walnuts, about 45 seconds. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store at room temperature in airtight container.)
Combine chicken, 2 tablespoons tamari and honey in medium bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add cooked rice and edamame; reduce heat to medium and stir-fry until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice mixture among plates. Sprinkle with green onions and walnuts.
*Tamari soy sauce is available at specialty and natural foods stores and some supermarkets nationwide.
