Ingredients

  • 171 g buckwheat soba noodles or whole wheat pasta, dry and gluten-free
  • 2 cups frozen edamame thawed
  • 227 g roasted chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 cucumbers diced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional, for garnish

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or more to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions until just al dente. If the noodles become sticky after draining, rinse them briefly under cold water to loosen and separate.
  • While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sesame sauce. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the tahini, warm water, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and sriracha until smooth and creamy. Adjust sriracha to your desired spice level.
  • Once the noodles are ready and drained, toss them in about half of the prepared sesame sauce to coat thoroughly. This ensures they absorb the flavor before assembling the bowls.
  • Divide the dressed noodles into serving containers or bowls. Top with the thawed edamame, diced cucumber, and roasted chicken slices. Drizzle with additional sesame sauce to taste and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
  • These bowls can be enjoyed warm or chilled. Store in the refrigerator for up to four days for quick, flavorful meals throughout the week.
