Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 cup frozen shelled edamame
2 oranges
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Sriracha
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 cups watercress, trimmed
1 cup crunchy chow mein noodles
2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 12 ounces)
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • Cut the top and bottom off each orange, then cut off the peel and white pith. Holding an orange over a small bowl to catch the juice, cut along the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze any juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the other orange.
  • Whisk the peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, the soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the lettuce, watercress and half of the chow mein noodles in a large bowl. Divide among plates and drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the chicken, edamame, carrots, orange segments and remaining noodles. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 6 sides

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the Dressing
¼ cup honey
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar*
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut butter (I like Skippy Natural No Need to Stir)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon Sriracha sauce (Thai hot sauce optional)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 large garlic clove, minced
For the Slaw
4 cups prepared shredded coleslaw
2 cups prepared shredded carrots (or grated in food processor)
1 red pepper, thinly sliced into bite size pieces
1 cup pre-cooked, shelled edamame (available fresh or frozen)
2 medium scallions, finely chopped
½ cup chopped salted peanuts (you can also leave them whole)
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Make the dressing by combining all ingredients in medium bowl. Stir until peanut butter is dissolved. Set aside. 2. Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing and toss well. Let sit at least 10 minutes so vegetables have a chance to soak up the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add a bit more salt but go by your own taste). Serve cold. *Unseasoned Rice Vinegar is not the same as Seasoned Rice Vinegar, which has added salt and sugar. Be sure to use straight rice vinegar or else the dressing will be too salty and sweet. I've also used Brown Rice Vinegar (sold at Whole For the Slaw 4 cups prepared shredded coleslaw 2 cups prepared shredded carrots (or grated in food processor) 1 red pepper, thinly sliced into bite size pieces 1 cup pre-cooked, shelled edamame (available fresh or frozen) 2 medium scallions, finely chopped ½ cup chopped salted peanuts (you can also leave them whole) ½ cup loosely packed chopped 1.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality peanut butter. A natural peanut butter with no added sugar or salt will give you the best flavor.
  • Toast the peanuts. Toasting the peanuts will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a variety of vinegars. Rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and white vinegar can all be used to make a delicious peanut dressing. Experiment to find your favorite combination.
  • Add some sweetness. Honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup can all be used to add sweetness to your peanut dressing. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Season to taste. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for peanut dressing. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or ginger powder, to taste.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, can add a pop of freshness and flavor to your peanut dressing.
