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.
