Preparation

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
Wash and dry all produce.
To a medium pot, add sticky rice and enough water to cover.
Using your hand, swirl to rinse rice. Pour off cloudy water and refill with cold water. Repeat until water rinses clear.
To the pot with rinced rice, add 1 1/3 cups (2 2/3 cups) fresh water and edamame. Bring to a boil over high.
Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add miso and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Stir to combine.
Line a baking sheet with parchement paper.
Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
To the prepared baking sheet, add salmon. Top with miso mixture.
Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-14 min, until cooked through.**

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
Transfer to a plate.

Add 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water, then half the sesame oil to the same pan. Add gyoza flat-sides down.
Cover pan with lid. Reduce heat to medium once water starts boiling.
Cook for 4-6 mins, until water completely evaporates and gyoza bottoms are crispy.

Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
To a large bowl, add remaining sesame oil, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar, vinegar and soy. Whisk to combine.
Add coleslaw mix and half the green onions. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
