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
  • Lemon wedge for squeezing
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • 2 cups blanched snap peas
  • 1/4 cup edamame
  • 1 watermelon radish or 2 red radishes, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and maple syrup. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
