Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 8 oz soba noodles
• 1 cup shelled edamame beans (fresh or frozen)
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• Fresh cilantro or mint for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by cooking the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Ensure they are al dente, then drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. While the noodles cook, bring a small pot of water to boil and cook the edamame for about 5 minutes, if using fresh. If using frozen, simply thaw them.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well to create your flavorful sauce.
4. Add the cooked soba noodles to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce.
5. Gently toss in the edamame, red bell pepper slices, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
6. Transfer the noodle mixture to serving bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro or mint leaves.

Helpful Tips:

• For a spicier kick, add a drizzle of sriracha or sprinkle some red pepper flakes.
• Feel free to add other colorful vegetables like snap peas, purple cabbage, or cucumber for extra crunch and nutrition.
• If sesame oil isn’t available, olive oil can be a good substitute for a different yet delightful flavor profile.
• For a protein boost, add tofu or grilled chicken slices to the bowl.
