  • Stir together water, rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, about 10 minutes. Let cool, about 30 minutes. (You should have 3 cups rice.)
  • Meanwhile, line a tray with wax paper or parchment paper. Put rice, kimchi, flour, egg, and remaining salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, gently combine. Shape rice mixture into 8 patties, 1/3 cup mixture each. Put patties on the prepared tray.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an extra-large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 4 patties, turning once halfway through, until brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and 4 patties.
  • Meanwhile, steam edamame according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Add chili oil and soy sauce and toss until coated.
