Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dried thin rice noodles
  • 2 cups shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
  • 2 cups shredded Napa cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain them immediately, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, shelled edamame, shredded Napa cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything gently until the vegetables and noodles are evenly coated.
  5. Stir in the chopped roasted peanuts.
  6. Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This makes it a great make ahead salad recipe.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top for garnish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the edamame in a small amount of the dressing for 15 minutes before assembling the salad.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the dressing.
  • This salad holds up well for up to two days in the refrigerator, making it an excellent choice for meal prep or potlucks.
