Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking and set aside to cool.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and chop the green onions. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), grated ginger, and water until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled soba noodles, edamame, carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, and green onions.
Pour the miso dressing over the noodle mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the soba noodle salad to a serving platter or individual bowls.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving for a colder salad.
