Ingredients
  

Sesame Dressing
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tamari plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
For the Soba Noodles
  • 6 ounces soba noodles
  • 1 lemon wedge for squeezing
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • 2 cups snap peas blanched
  • 1/4 cup edamame
  • 1 watermelon radish or 2 red radishes, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 sprinkle sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Pot

Method
 

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and maple syrup. Set aside.
  2. Bring an unsalted pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse well in cold water. This helps to remove starches that cause clumping.
  3. Toss the noodles with the dressing and divide into 2 to 4 bowls. Squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the avocado slices and add to the bowls along with the snap peas, edamame, radish, mint, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Drizzle with more tamari or sesame oil, if desired.

Notes

If you are gluten-free, use gluten-free soba noodles. Make this vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
