We love it when opposites attract. A sweet-and-sour gingery dressing goes hand in hand with soft soba noodles, edamame and crunchy slaw. Add grilled shrimp or chicken for a protein-packed finish. -Mandy Rivers, Lexington, South Carolina

SOBA NOODLES WITH EDAMAME AND PEANUTS

Soba Noodles with Edamame and Peanuts image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

Kosher salt
8 to 9 ounces soba noodles (two-thirds of a 350g package)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1-inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1/2 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped
2 medium carrots, julienned (cut planks on a mandolin, then cut into strips)
1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and julienned
1 cup shelled edamame
3 scallions, white and green sliced on the bias
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the soba and swish them around with a pair of tongs so they don't stick together. Cook the noodles until they are soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Strain through a colander and immediately rinse with cold water. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the sesame oil.
Coat a large straight-sided saute pan with peanut oil and toss in the garlic, ginger and jalapeno. Bring the pan to a medium heat and cook the garlic and ginger for 1 to 2 minutes. Toss in the carrots and 1/4 cup water and cook until the water has evaporated. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms have softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the edamame and scallions.
Add the soy, rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Toss in the cooked soba, stir to combine and cook until the noodles are hot and the water has evaporated.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the peanuts.

Tips:

Choose fresh edamame: Look for edamame pods that are bright green and plump, with no signs of yellowing or browning.
Cook the edamame properly: Overcooked edamame will be mushy, so it's important to cook it just until it's tender-crisp. You can boil, steam, or microwave the edamame, depending on your preference.
Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for broccoli and carrots, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, snap peas, and snow peas.
Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this recipe can be made up to a day in advance, which will save you time when you're ready to assemble the bowl.
Top with your favorite toppings: This recipe suggests green onions, sesame seeds, and nori strips, but you can top your bowl with anything you like. Some other good options include crushed peanuts, crispy shallots, and a fried egg.

Conclusion:

This edamame and soba noodle bowl is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it's also low in calories and fat. Plus, it's easy to customize to your own liking, so you can make it as spicy or mild as you want.
