Instructions:
- Cook soba noodles per package directions.

Notes
- Make sure to purchase pre-shelled edamame. You can often find it fresh in the produce section. If not, it’s also widely available in the frozen vegetable aisle. Thaw per package instructions before using.
- Save time by using pre-shredded carrots.
- Use rice noodles, somen noodles, lo mein, or linguine pasta if soba noodles are unavailable. Macros will vary.
