Catie
ingredients
- 2 ounces dried soba (buckwheat) noodles, Eden brand is good
- 1/2 cup shelled edamame (may use frozen)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (may substitute peanut or other nut butter)
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 medium clove garlic, crushed then minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
- 2 to 4 teaspoons hot water
- Sea salt
- 1 scallion, white and light-green parts, cut crosswise into thin slices
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin slices

directions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add the soba noodles and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or according to package directions, until barely tender. Use tongs to transfer the cooked noodles to an individual-serving bowl, reserving the cooking water in the pot; return the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the edamame and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and add to the noodles. (I used two pots for this, so I could do everything at the same time)

Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the almond butter, rice vinegar, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Add the hot water as needed to reach the desired consistency, stirring to mix well. (I used a few spoonfuls of hot water from the pot to get it to the right consistency) Add salt to taste; adjust seasoning as necessary.

Add the dressing to the noodles and edamame, along with the scallion, bell pepper and chopped almonds; toss to combine. Serve at room temperature.
