Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams snow peas
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 50 grams slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water.
Trim the ends off the snow peas and blanch them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately transfer the peas to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips, julienne the carrot, and finely chop the green onions. Place all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and sesame seeds over the salad. Gently toss again to distribute the toppings.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chill for 15 minutes for enhanced flavor infusion.
