* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Put the edamame in a sieve and run warm tap water over them for 2 minutes. Shake dry.
Done looks like: No ice left. Beans soft enough to bite through. Slice the cabbage as thin as you can. Grate the carrot. Slice the green onions. Chop the cilantro and peanuts.
In a large bowl, whisk the rice vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, lime juice and ginger.
Add the cabbage, carrot, edamame, green onion and cilantro. Toss well and leave 10 minutes.
Done looks like: Cabbage slightly glossy and a little softer. Toss again and top with the sesame seeds and peanuts.
Equipment
Chef's knife, 20 cm (8 in) $15–50
What to look for
- Comfortable handle that does not slip when wet
- Blade you can sharpen, or a cheap one you replace every few years
Skip: Knife blocks with 12 knives. A chef's knife and a small paring knife cover almost everything.
Cutting board $10–30
What to look for
- At least 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), so food stays on it
- Wood or plastic; plastic goes in the dishwasher
Skip: Glass or stone boards. They dull knives fast.
Box grater $10–20
What to look for
- Four sides, including a coarse side for cheese and vegetables
- Stable base that does not slide
Skip: Rotary graters. A box grater does more.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Tough, chunky cabbage | Cut too thick. | Cut the head into wedges, then slice across as thin as you can. |
| Flat taste | Not enough acid or salt. | Add another squeeze of lime and a few drops of tamari. |
