Thanks for sharing your recipe mianbao. I really enjoyed it! After mixing the dressing in a small bowl, I've already knew this salad would taste good. THe combination of garlic, ginger and sesame oil was great. It had a really nice aroma. I added a little bit of soy sauce and cilantro to it and I used edamame beans as I didn't have any snow peas at home.
