Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Juice of 2 large lemons
  • 2-3 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 350g red cabbage (1/2 red cabbage), finely sliced
  • 350g shelled edamame beans
  • 350g carrots, coarsely grated
  • Large handful of fresh coriander leaves
Step 1

Mix the sesame oil, lemon juice and sesame seeds in a small bowl to make a dressing and set aside.

Step 2

Steam the edamame beans and cabbage for 1 minute over a pan of boiling water, then rinse immediately under cold, running water.  (If using frozen soy beans, steam them for 3 minutes, before adding the red cabbage for a final minute of cooking).  Drain well and toss with the grated carrot and the dressing,  before serving sprinkled with fresh coriander leaves.
