Steam 80g broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. 8. In a small bowl, whisk together 10ml soy sauce, 5ml rice vinegar, 5g maple syrup, 5g sriracha, and 5ml sesame oil to make the dressing. 9. In a serving bowl, arrange the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, 50g grated carrot, 50g sliced cucumber, 30g avocado, and 30g edamame. 10.
