Ingredients
  • ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ⅛ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 6 ounces rice noodles
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1 cup edamame beans
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
  1. Add the toasted sesame oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes to a bowl and mix everything together to form the salad dressing. Set aside.
  2. In a large, heatproof bowl, add the noodles. Boil a kettle and pour the hot water over the noodles until they are just submerged. Leave them to cook according to the packets instructions.
  3. Once the noodles are just cooked, drain them in a colander and then run them under the cold water tap to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a large bowl, add the cooked rice noodles, sugar snap peas, sliced carrot, red cabbage, bell peppers, scallions, edamame beans, and cilantro.
  5. Pour the mixed salad dressing over the ingredients in the bowl, and then toss everything together to thoroughly coat it in the toasted sesame dressing before serving. Top with sesame seeds when serving, if desired.
