Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Add the cooked rice to a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the soy sauce. Stir well to evenly coat the rice, then press it down firmly into a thin, even layer.

  3. 3

    Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring and re-pressing halfway through, until the rice is golden and crispy. The rice will darken from the soy sauce, just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

  4. 4

    While the rice bakes, dice the halloumi, cucumbers, and scallions.

  5. 5

    Heat a pan over medium heat and add enough olive oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Add the halloumi and cook for a couple of minutes per side until golden brown, stirring often so it doesn’t stick.

  6. 6

    Make the dressing by mixing the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil until smooth.

  7. 7

    To serve, top the crispy rice with the halloumi, edamame, cucumbers, and scallions. Spoon the yogurt dressing over everything and serve.
