Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Edamame
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, add a pinch of kosher salt, and then add the frozen edamame. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes or until some beans float to the surface.
- Drain and rinse the edamame with cold water immediately to stop the cooking process.
Salad Assembly
- Wash and pat dry the snap peas, then thinly slice on a bias and place them in a large serving bowl along with the cilantro, scallions, and prepared edamame.
- Pour the lemon juice over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.
Making the Dressing
- In a heat-proof bowl or jar, combine the toasted sesame seeds, honey, ginger, and chili crisp.
- Heat sesame oil in a small pan over high heat until it shimmers, then carefully pour it over the aromatic mixture in the bowl.
- Stir well to emulsify the dressing.
Combining and Serving
- Pour the dressing over the salad, add a pinch of salt, and toss to combine.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If storing, keep the dressing separate to maintain crunchiness. You can also adjust the chili crisp for heat preference. Allowing the raw snap peas to shine is key to a delightful texture.
