Yes, cook the orzo. It's super easy -- just cook everything and throw it all together.

I have made this salad many times and made minor changes to perfect for larger groups. Try edemane instead of Snap Peas, and add more smoked sesame oil but decrease the other oil. This salad holds well in the heat, can be used to place as a base for grilled korean chicken and made 24 to 36 hours in advance. This a crowd pleaser and a keeper side for any group.
