7. Add the scallion whites, bell pepper, and edamame.
8. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2 minutes.
9. Stir in the chicken.
10. Cover and simmer until the chicken and edamame are cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
11. Turn off the heat.
12. Tear the basil leaves and stir them in.
13. Season with soy sauce, if needed.
14. To serve, spoon the black rice into the center of large, shallow bowls.
