Ingredients

  • 40g cashews, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp miso paste, we used Yutaka brand (use gluten-free miso paste if required)
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup, maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
  • 1 tsp grated root ginger
  • ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • juice of 1 lime or 1½ tbsp rice vinegar
  • 150g frozen edamame beans or frozen peas
  • 1 x 400g tin aduki beans (or kidney beans)
  • 1 large carrot, shredded or coarsely grated
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • 3 x half-sheets of nori seaweed, cut into strips, optional

Step by step

Get ahead
Keeps overnight in the fridge.
  1. Toast the cashews in ½ teaspoon of sesame oil in a small frying pan until golden. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  2. Mix the miso, tamari, syrup, ginger, chilli and lime juice together in a large bowl with 1½ teaspoons of sesame oil to make a dressing.
  3. Boil the edamame beans for 3 minutes until tender. Tip the aduki beans into a colander, rinse with cold water then, with the beans still in the colander, strain the edamame beans so that the cooking water warms them through slightly.
  4. Add to the dressing (the warmth will help them absorb the flavours), then mix in the carrot, spring onions and seaweed, if using. Scatter with the cashews to serve.
