Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mixing bowl and a baking sheet.
  2. In your mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, white miso paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until well blended.
  3. Spread the miso panko mixture on your baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Thin with water if necessary.
  5. In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, edamame, green onions, and cilantro. Toss gently.
