Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chilled Edamame Salad with Sesame Dressing.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bringing it to a gentle boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, toss in the shelled edamame and let them cook for about three minutes, or until they’re tender and vibrant.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the edamame and pop them into the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the rest of the salad.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped napa cabbage, bok choy, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and a sprinkle of coarse salt.
Step 5
Let this colorful mixture sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes; this will help the cabbage soften just a bit and enhance the flavors.
Step 6
Once the edamame has cooled down, combine it with the shredded carrots and fold them into the cabbage mixture.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour—this waiting time allows all those delicious flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 8
When you’re ready to serve, give your salad a delightful finishing touch by sprinkling black sesame seeds and adding some shredded daikon radish on top for an extra crunch and burst of flavor.
Step 9
Enjoy this refreshing and vibrant salad as a perfect side dish or a light meal!.
