I love some Thai inspired salad fixings!
Am I missing something? How much edamame?
1 1/2 cups
Looks delicious. Heads up…the written instructions don’t include the edamame! Can’t wait to try this.
Also the tsp of ginger is not included in the written recipe.
Thank you, it is fixed now.
This looks great! Any certain amount of edamame?
1 1/2 cups
The name of this recipe indicates that edamame is in it but the list doesn’t include it. How much does it call for?
1 1/2 cups. It should be there now.
The recipe doesn’t have the 1.5 cups of edamame. I watched the video to make sure what the edamame amount was.
Thank you, it should be there now.
I have recently lost half of my vision. I went back, and saw the edamame listed first. Sorry…..Still getting used to only seeing half of what is on screen.
Delicious salad. I miss the edamame beans in in the list of ingredients.
It should be there now.
There’s no edamame in the ingredient list. Dressing is excellent
I’m headed to the store to get some cabbage. I know it will be delicious because it is one of your recipes. They are always a winner. I also love your enthusiasm when you meet us at the table for a taste. Thanks to you and Jeff for all your hard work.
Is the edamame the frozen kind that comes pre shelled?
Yes
I don’t see the edamame listed in the recipe. Am I missing it?
Another great go to meal!
I tried the Thai Edamame Salad recipe today. My husband and I both loved it! Very flavorful. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing this great recipe with us.
These types of salad recipes are so satisfying! I plan to carry this in my lunch for the week. Thank you.
.The salad was flavorful and beautiful. I kept the peanut dressing separate and used it on leftover salad the following day and it was just as good.
