Instructions

Rinse the kale leaves, remove the stems and give the leaves a rough chop.
Place the leaves in a steamer on the stove and steam for 2 to 3 minutes, just until wilted, but still slightly crunchy. Immediately remove from heat and transfer to an ice bath until cold. Strain the leaves into a colander, pat dry, and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, lemon juice, liquid aminos, maple syrup, and ginger with a fork until well combined.
Add the kale and remaining ingredients to a serving bowl and pour the sesame dressing over it. Toss everything together and serve with sesame seeds on top.
