Steps
Steps
- 1Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, shaking, until golden. Tip onto a plate.
- 2Cook the soba in plenty of boiling unsalted water for the time on the packet, usually 4–5 minutes, stirring at the start so it doesn't stick. Add the edamame for the last 2 minutes.
- 3Drain and rinse under cold running water, rubbing the noodles between your hands to wash off the surface starch. This is what keeps soba from setting into a sticky mass. Drain well.
- 4Cut the cucumber and carrot into thin matchsticks and slice the spring onions.
- 5Whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, ginger and garlic until the sugar dissolves.
- 6Toss the noodles, edamame and vegetables with the dressing and scatter over the sesame seeds. Dress no more than 30 minutes ahead, or the soba soaks up the dressing and softens.
