Scale

1 cup (140 g) frozen shelled edamame
1 package (180 g) snap peas, thinly sliced on a bias
1/4 cup packed cilantro, finely chopped
4 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias
1 tbsp (10 g) lemon juice

2 tsp (10 g) honey
2 tsp (11 g) finely grated ginger
1 tsp (6 g) chili crisp
2 tbsp (16 g) sesame oil
Kosher salt to taste

  1. Boil edamame in salted water for 3 minutes until floating; drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. Thinly slice snap peas on a bias and combine in a bowl with cilantro, scallions, and edamame.
  3. Toss the vegetables with lemon juice and set aside.
  4. Place sesame seeds, honey, ginger, and chili crisp in a heat-proof bowl.

  • Adjust chili crisp amount to match your preferred spice level.
