Recipe Notes

Reserve the extra dressing for a delicious marinade for meat, shrimp, or chicken.
For convenience, you can buy fresh steamed edamame that have already been removed from the shell. If you cannot find this, the frozen section will have edamame that you can thaw and remove from the shell yourself.
Can't find kohlrabi or purple daikon radishes? Simply substitute some cabbage and red radishes for a similar fresh taste.
