Edamame and Kimchi Fried Rice Recipe

This recipe is a healthier version of that old take out staple.  Edamame is one of my favorite healthy protein sources and kimchi is full of probiotics (lactobacilli). I love all kinds of Korean food. You know, all kimchi all the time! So basically this recipe has all of my favorite things – lightened up, healthy protein, easy to make, gluten free, and SO delicious! It’s a recipe I make again and again and I hope you will too!
