Chef Katie’s Tips

Adzuki Beans? Red Adzuki beans are small, red beans, traditional to Asian cooking. You can substitute with red kidney beans, mung beans, or black beans for this salad.

Chef’s Ingredient Tip: Double-check the Peanut Butter label. Look for a brand that has no extra oils, sugars, or syrups listed. These are often called peanut butter “spread”

Chef’s Bottom-of-the Jar Trick:  Use an empty (or near-empty “bottom of the jar”) peanut butter jar to make a big batch of the Peanut Sauce.  You can whip up this bowl in minutes, or use it as a dressing for salad, a dip for veggies, or even poured over roasted sweet potatoes.
