Equipment
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Large Pot (x2)
- Serving Bowl
Ingredients
- 170 gram Soba Noodles gluten-free
- 2 cups Frozen Shelled Edamame
- 3 cups Sugar Snap Peas sliced in half lengthwise
- 6 Carrots peeled into ribbons (or julienned)

Instructions
- Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until emulsified. Set aside.
- Bring two big pots of water to a boil. In the meantime, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan.
- When water is boiling, cook the soba noodles in one pot according to package directions. Drain and briefly rinse under cool water. Set aside.
- Cook the edamame in the other pot until warmed through (about 4 to 6 minutes) but before draining, toss the halved sugar snaps into the boiling edamame water and cook for an additional 20 seconds. Drain.
