Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces dried soba noodles
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
  • 3 tablespoons tahini, well stirred
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, cucumber ribbons, or shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 4 to 5 minutes. Stir once to prevent sticking.
  2. Drain and rinse under cold running water until the noodles are cool. Shake off as much water as you can.
  3. While the noodles cook, whisk together the tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency. Taste and adjust the balance of salty, sweet, and tangy.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the cooled soba noodles with the tahini sauce until every strand is coated.
  5. Add the edamame and most of the green onions and sesame seeds, reserving some for garnish. Gently fold everything together.
  6. Divide the noodles among bowls. Top with the remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like heat. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

For a gluten free version, use tamari and check that your soba noodles are 100% buckwheat. The noodles will absorb some sauce overnight, making leftovers even more flavorful. To refresh, add a splash of water or rice vinegar before serving.
