Notes
Soba Noodles:
Soba is thin noodles made from buckwheat flour or a combination of buckwheat and wheat flour. I purchased it from Ralphs.
Sesame oil:
It is used as a flavor enhancer in Middle Eastern, African, and Southeast Asian cuisines. It has a distinctive nutty aroma and taste. You can purchase at any grocery market, make sure that it's 100% pure. I used Lee Kum Kee brand.
Edamame:
It's plant-based and free from added sugar. You can find fresh or frozen at any grocery market. I purchased fresh from Trader's Joe.
