Step-by-Step Instructions for Miso Crunch Salad
  1. Prepare Miso Crunch Topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together panko breadcrumbs, miso paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Make Miso Dressing: While the topping bakes, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine white miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), grated ginger, and minced garlic. Gradually add water until the dressing reaches desired consistency.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, mix together the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, shelled edamame, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Dress the Salad: Just before serving, drizzle the prepared miso dressing evenly over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together using salad tongs.
  5. Finish with Topping: Sprinkle the crunchy miso topping over the salad and add toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
