Equipment

  • 1 pot
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 blender or bowl with whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced thin
  • 1 medium carrot shredded
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup edamame cooked
  • 2 whole green onions chopped
  • 1 8-ounce package buckwheat soba noodles
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make the sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, tahini, rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
  • Cook the soba: Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Typically this means bringing a pot of salted water to a boil, then cooking soba noodles for 7-8 minutes. Drain (but do not rinse).
  • Toss the salad: Add the cooked soba noodles to a large bowl with the bell pepper, carrot, chopped cilantro, and edamame. Add the sauce and then toss until the soba noodles and vegetables are coated. Then garnish with the chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Prep ahead: Slice the bell pepper, shred the carrots, chop the cilantro, cook the edamame, and make the sauce up to 2-3 days ahead of time. However, the soba noodles are best made fresh.
Leftovers and storage: Store leftover soba noodle salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Do not freeze.
