  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then add the shallots and garlic. Cook until soft, about 1 minute.

  • Stir in the edamame, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through and edamame is tender. Season with black pepper and set aside to cool.

  • In a large bowl, toss together the quinoa, edamame mixture, radishes, cucumbers, and herbs. Drizzle with soy sauce to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
