Directions

Step 1

Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and cook the Asian noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the shelled edamame and cook for 2-3 minutes if using fresh or 5 minutes if using frozen. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, edamame, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and green onions.

Step 5

Pour the prepared sauce over the noodle mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
