Cook the whole wheat noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red and green cabbage, julienne the carrots, thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions, and chop the cilantro. If using, chop the peanuts or cashews for garnish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbages, carrots, bell pepper, edamame, green onions, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using) to make the dressing.
Add the cooked noodles to the vegetable mixture. Pour the dressing over the top and toss well to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with chopped peanuts or cashews (if using) and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
