I love sugar snap peas and the crisp veggies in this salad. The sweetness of the ginger soy dressing adds a nice compliment. This is one of DH's favourite salads. Cook time is allowing for dressing to cool. Found this in one of my favourite magazine's Cooking light . Ingredients:
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced |
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 tablespoon oyster sauce |
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 lb sugar snap pea, trimmed |
1/2 cup carrot (julienne cut) |
1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts (drained and sliced) |
1/2 cup red bell pepper (julienne cut) |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. To prepare dressing, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. 2. Add ginger; sauté 2 minutes. 3. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook 1 minute. 4. Stir in oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and salt, bring to a simmer. 5. Remove from heat; cool. 6. To prepare salad, cook peas in boiling water 30 seconds. 7. Drain and rinse with cold water. 8. Combine peas and remaining ingredients except sesame seeds. 9. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss well. 10. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. |
