For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. If you don't have mirin, you can substitute it with a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup mixed with a tablespoon of dry sake or dry sherry. Toasted sesame seeds make a great alternative to peanuts for those with nut allergies. This salad can be made a day ahead; however, add the peanuts just before serving to maintain their crunch. Consider adding other vegetables like bell peppers or edamame for added nutrients and flavor.
