Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups Snap Peas Essential for crunch; opt for vibrant green ones for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Edamame Provides protein; substitute with green peas if needed.
  • 4 stalks Scallions Adds mild onion flavor; use both white and green parts for a balanced taste.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Fresh and herbal; consider basil as a substitute for a unique twist.
For the Dressing
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice Brightens the dish; fresh is ideal, but vinegar works too.
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds Adds nutty flavor and crunch; skip if allergic.
  • 1 tbsp Honey Natural sweetness; agave syrup can serve as a vegan alternative.
  • 1 inch Fresh Ginger Provides warmth; ground ginger is acceptable but use less.
  • 2 tbsp Chili Crisp Adds exciting spice; hot sauce can be a milder substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil Seasoning oil; light olive or avocado oil can be used instead.

Equipment

  • Medium Pot
  • large mixing bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by boiling a medium pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the edamame and cook for about 3 minutes, or until they float and turn bright green. Drain the edamame and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While the edamame cools, rinse and trim the snap peas, slicing them on a bias. In a large mixing bowl, combine the snap peas with the blanched edamame, scallions, and cilantro. Toss gently.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, honey, and grated ginger. Heat sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Pour the hot oil over the mixture and whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the chili crisp dressing over the salad mix in the bowl. Season lightly with salt and toss until well combined. Serve immediately.
