This Crunchy Edamame Peanut Salad is a fibre-rich and protein-packed side dish. It’s quick to throw together and has a satisfying crunch while delivering substance.
I make this as a late night editing snack, but you could easily prep this as a side dish for work lunches. I recommend packing the peanuts and toasted sesame seeds separately. Add them just before you eat so you maintain the satisfying crunch!
Depending on how snacky you’re feeling, this is probably more reasonable to be a 2 serving snack. This has crushed the late night cravings for me in a way that fills me up with fibre, protein (10 g per serving!), fat, and flavour. Plus it’s easy to throw together when it’s late and you’re craving something substantial.
I know the photos are not the most inviting, but I promise you this has been a delicious way to keep the hunger at bay. Especially when I want to hunker down and get some work done. This crunchy edamame peanut salad is so fun to eat! It has also been great fuel for my post-workout recovery.
Edamame Peanut Salad Crunch
Depending on how snacky you're feeling, this is probably more reasonable to be a 2 serving snack, but this has hit the late night cravings for me in a way that fills me up with fibre, protein (10 g per serving!), fat, and flavour. Plus it's easy to throw together when it's late and you're craving something substantial.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked shelled edamame
- 1/4 cup roasted unsalted red skinned peanuts (they're crunchier, but any peanut will do)
- 2 tsp soy sauce (use tamari if GF)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp maesil chung/Korean green plum syrup (or maple syrup/any liquid sweetener you prefer)
- 1/2 tsp chili crisp (optional but highly recommended)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Cook the edamame and drain well. Try to let it steam dry when you drain it from the hot water, otherwise it will dilute your dressing.
- In a bowl combine edamame, roasted peanuts, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maesil syrip, and chili crisp. Still well to combine.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, and enjoy!

What a healthy and tasty sounding snack! The combination of flavors sounds incredible, along with combination of edamame and peanuts. Can’t wait to try..

So quick & DELISH! There’s a question, what’s the soy sauce measurement, you don’t say. You have 2, but is it TBS, or TSP. I used TSP.

It was tsp! Sorry I fixed it

The ingredients list: 2 soy sauce (use tamari if GF) — what is the unit, is it tsp or tbsp?
Lisa Le says
It was 2 tsp, sorry I fixed it!
Lydia Greenfield says
Hi. Is it 2 tablespoons of soy sauce or 2 teaspoons?
Thanks!
Lisa Le says
Oops, two tsp. I’ll fix that. Thank you!
