Soba. Cook in water for exactly 4-5 mins . Do not overcook.
The Rinse (Critical). Drain and rinse vigorously in cold water, rubbing the noodles between your hands to remove the thick starch layer. This ensures they don't become gummy.
The Dressing. Whisk sesame paste, ginger, soy, and honey until emulsified.
Combine. Toss the cold noodles with the dressing, edamame, and carrots. Serve immediately chilled.
