Preparation
Cook the rice
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, add the edamame and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, place the skewers in a shallow bowl; cover with water. Halve, core and large-dice the sweet peppers. Cut the zucchini crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve, peel and large-dice the onion.
Prepare the skewers
In a large bowl, combine the sweet peppers, zucchini, onion, a drizzle of oil, the spices and S&P. Drain the skewers and thread each one with the vegetables, alternating between each, leaving 1-inch free on the bottom.
Grill the skewers
Add the skewers to the BBQ and grill, turning occasionally, 6 to 8 min., until the vegetables are browned and tender. Brush with ½ the teriyaki glaze.
Finish & serve
Roughly chop the cashews. Divide the rice between your plates. Top with the skewers. Drizzle with the remaining teriyaki glaze. Garnish with the cashews. Bon appétit!
