Ingredients

- 2 cups brewed green tea (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
- Prepare the sous vide bath: Preheat your sous vide machine to 85°C (185°F).
- Sous vide the edamame: Place the shelled edamame in a vacuum-seal bag. Add a splash of the brewed green tea and seal the bag. Cook in the sous vide bath for 30 minutes.
- Cook the green beans: In a separate vacuum-seal bag, place the trimmed green beans along with a small amount of the brewed green tea. Seal the bag and add it to the sous vide bath for 20 minutes.
- Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Combine the ingredients: Once the edamame and green beans are done, remove them from the bags and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Top with chopped spring onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and fresh coriander.
- Enjoy together: Gather everyone around the table, serve the salad, and enjoy the delicious flavors and textures together!
