1 cup frozen shelled edamame

1 lb snap peas, thinly sliced on a bias*

1/4 cup packed cilantro, finely chopped

4 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

2 tsp finely grated ginger 

1tbsp hot garlic chili crisp 

2 tbsp sesame oil

Kosher salt to taste

Steps:

1. To a pot of boiling water, add frozen edamame and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to medium and let the edamame cook for 3 minutes or until some of the beans start to float to the top. Drain and shock with cold water to stop the cooking process.  
2. Thinly slice snap peas on a bias and add to a serving bowl, along with the cilantro, scallions, and edamame. Squeeze over lemon juice and set aside.  
3. Add toasted sesame seeds, honey, ginger, and chili crisp to a heat-proof bowl. Heat the sesame oil in a pan on high heat until it’s warm and pour over the bowl of aromatics. Stir well.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad, sprinkle over a generous pinch of salt and toss to combine. Adjust for salt as needed and top off with hot garlic chili crisp. Serve immediately.
