Part 2/7:
The first dish is a vibrant, crunchy cabbage salad dressed with a creamy peanut and hoisin sauce. To prepare, start by soaking brown rice noodles and green soybeans in boiling water until tender — approximately 15 minutes for the noodles. The soybeans serve as an excellent protein source, making this dish both light and filling.
The dressing is straightforward: combine 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce (which includes ingredients like sweet potato, rice flour, soy, and sesame), and add the juice of half a lemon. Blend well, thinning with water if needed to achieve a desired consistency.
