Ingredientes

6 ounces soba noodles or spaghetti noodles of choice

2 cups frozen shelled edamame

10 ounces (about 3 cups) sugar snap peas or snow peas

6 medium-sized carrots, peeled

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

¼ cup sesame seeds

¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce

2 tablespoons quality peanut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 small lime)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon white miso*

2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha

Instruções

To prepare the vegetables: Use a chef’s knife to slice the peas in half lengthwise (or just roughly chop them). Slice the carrots into long, thin strips with a julienne peeler, or slice them into ribbons with a vegetable peeler.

To make the sauce: Whisk together the ingredients in a small bowl until well blended. Set aside.

Bring two big pots of water to a boil. In the meantime, toast the sesame seeds: Pour the sesame seeds into a small pan. Toast for about 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning, until the seeds turn golden and start to make popping noises.

Once the pots of water are boiling: In one pot, cook the soba noodles just until al dente, according to package directions (probably about 5 minutes), then drain and briefly rinse under cool water. Cook the frozen edamame in the other pot until warmed through (about 4 to 6 minutes) but before draining, toss the halved peas into the boiling edamame water and cook for an additional 20 seconds. Drain.

Combine the soba noodles, edamame, snap peas and carrots in a large serving bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss with salad servers. Toss in the chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds, and serve in bowls. This salad keeps well for 2 days in the refrigerator, covered. Serve leftovers chilled or gently warmed—you might like to wake up the leftovers with a splash of tamari or lime juice.
