Ingredients
- 8 ounces Asian noodles (e.g., soba, udon, or rice noodles)
- 1 cup Shelled edamame (frozen or fresh)
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 quarts Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and cook the Asian noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
While the noodles cook, prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if desired) in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the shelled edamame and cook for 2-3 minutes if using fresh or 5 minutes if using frozen. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, edamame, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and green onions.
Pour the prepared sauce over the noodle mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Asian Noodles with Edamame. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
