Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces whole wheat or soba noodles
  • 1 cup cooked edamame or shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rose water

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and set aside.
  2. While noodles cook, steam or boil 1 cup of edamame until tender or shred rotisserie chicken into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree and 2 tablespoons sugar or agave syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon rose water. Let cool.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon chili flakes if using. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Combine the cooled noodles, cooked protein, and sesame ginger sauce in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat every strand.
  6. Plate the noodles and drizzle a generous tablespoon of strawberry rose syrup over each serving. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook noodles; al dente is best. Use fresh ginger for best flavor. Toast sesame seeds before garnishing. Adjust syrup sweetness to taste. Strain syrup for a smooth texture. Mix sauce well before tossing noodles. Prepare syrup ahead and store in fridge. Rinse noodles after cooking to prevent sticking.
