Ingredients
  

Salad Base
  • 100 g glass noodles (about half a package)
  • 1 cup edamame (shelled, fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium carrot (julienned or grated)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper (to taste) Make sure all ingredients are halal-compliant.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil a pot of water and add the glass noodles. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. If using frozen edamame, follow the package instructions to cook them quickly. Typically, this involves boiling or steaming them for a few minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. While the noodles and edamame cool, slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot, and chop the green onions.
Mixing & Serving
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the glass noodles, edamame, cucumber, carrot, and green onions. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated.
  3. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a chilled treat later on.

Notes

Feel free to swap out edamame for other protein sources like chickpeas or tofu if you want a twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and add dressing just before serving for best results. Reheat lightly in the microwave if desired.
