Notes
1. Edamame - these are soy bean that have been podded, the taste and texture is like peas! Addictive Japanese snacking food, fab for salads.2. Crispy fried shallots can be purchased at Coles/Woolworths in Australia and Asian grocery stores. They are crispy salt fried shallots (green onion) pieces that are used as a garnish in Asian cooking. They add fabulous texture and flavour to anything from salads to soups, to stir fries to fried rice!3. Rice Vinegar aka rice wine vinegar - sub with apple cider vinegar, white wine or champagne vinegar. Or use slightly less normal white vinegar (don't use balsamic)4. Sesame Oil - toasted is brown and has a stronger sesame taste, untoasted is yellow.5. Nutrition per serving, assuming all Dressing is consumed.
