TO SHOP FOR
200 g soba noodles
1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
1 cup frozen edamame beans

PANTRY STAPLES
2 Tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce or tamari
2 Tbsp (30 mL) tahini
2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil
2 tsp (10 mL) ground chili paste (or sriracha)
2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar or maple syrup
2 tsp (10 mL) rice vinegar
1 clove garlic, grated
1-inch piece ginger, grated (or 1 and 1/4 tsp ginger powder)
Approximately 1 Tbsp (15 mL) warm water
Chopped green onion (to garnish)
Sesame seeds (to garnish)


TO PREPARE
Step 1: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Add your soba noodles, cooking for approximately 4 minutes. Add your broccoli and edamame beans, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Reserve 2 tbsp of the cooking water for your sauce.
Step 2: Strain the soba noodles and vegetables in a colander. You can run everything under cold water if you’re planning to serve the dish cold. Let everything sit in the colander to drain while you prepare your sauce.
Step 3: Prepare your sauce by combining soy sauce, tahini, sesame oil, grated ginger and garlic, chili paste, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Add 1 Tbsp of the reserved cooking water (or hot water) and whisk together. If the sauce is too thick, add more warm water until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 4: In your serving bowl, toss the noodles and vegetables together with the sauce. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and additional chili paste if you like it spicy.
