Chef's Note

For a time-saving tip, prep all your vegetables the night before and store them in airtight containers. You can also use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken to make this dish even quicker. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the chicken and add extra edamame for protein.

Ingredients
  • 8 oz soba noodles

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 2 cloves, minced garlic

  • 1 tsp, grated ginger

  • 1 medium, thinly sliced red bell pepper

  • 1 large, julienned carrot

  • 1 medium, julienned cucumber

  • 1 cup, shelled and cooked edamame

  • 3 stalks, thinly sliced green onions

  • 1 tbsp, toasted sesame seeds

  • 2 cups, shredded (optional) rotisserie chicken

Instructions
  • 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook 8 oz of soba noodles according to package instructions, usually 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

  • 2

    While the noodles cook, prepare the sauce by whisking together 2 tbsp of sesame oil, 3 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1 tbsp of honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp of grated ginger in a small bowl.

  • 3

    Julienne 1 red bell pepper, 1 large carrot, and 1 medium cucumber. Slice 3 green onions thinly.

  • 4

    In a large bowl, toss the cooked and cooled noodles with three-quarters of the sauce until well coated.

  • 5

    Divide the dressed noodles among four serving bowls. Arrange the julienned vegetables, 1 cup of edamame, and 2 cups of shredded chicken (if using) on top of the noodles.

  • 6

    Drizzle the remaining sauce over each bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions and 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds.

  • 7

    Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a cold noodle salad.
