- 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

Step by step
Get ahead
Keeps overnight in the fridge.
- Toast the cashews in ½ teaspoon of sesame oil in a small frying pan until golden. Sprinkle with a little salt.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
