Best Asian Noodles With Edamame Recipes

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD WITH EDAMAME & SWEET GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a blender until very smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve the salad. It will keep for 4 to 5 days in the fridge.
• Cook noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes, or as per cooking instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Cook edamame from frozen in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat in 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari) for 4 to 5 minutes. They should appear toasted and browned, but still with some bright green color to them.
• Remove the edamame from the pan and keep it on medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and toss in the pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), frying for 2 to 3 minutes. You might not need to add more oil depending on if there is some sesame oil residue still in the pan from cooking the edamame. Adding a little bit of oil to the cooked noodles immediately after draining from the water will prevent them from becoming sticky if you're storing leftovers for the week.
• Mix the finely chopped kale with shredded carrot, cabbage, green onion, and toss in 2 to 3 tablespoons of sweet ginger dressing. Only dress what you're immediately eating. You can store the mixed salad without dressing in the fridge for the week.
• Divide this mixture amongst your serving dishes. Top the greens with noodles, edamame, julienned red pepper, bean sprouts, and sesame seeds. Drizzle a little more dressing on top, if desired. Serve immediately.

SOBA NOODLES WITH EDAMAME AND PEANUTS

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.
