INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

2 oz soba noodles

0.25 cup shelled edamame

0.5 cup shredded carrots

0.5 cup sliced cucumber

1 tbsp tamari

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

1 tsp rice vinegar

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

0.5 tsp honey

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to package directions, usually about 4-5 minutes.

• 2

  Immediately drain the noodles and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch; set aside.

• 3

  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Heat the avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 5

  While the chicken rests, whisk together the tamari, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and honey in a small bowl until well combined.

• 6

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled soba noodles, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and shelled edamame.

• 7

  Pour the ginger-sesame dressing over the noodle mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

• 8

  Slice the rested chicken breast into thin strips and place them on top of the noodle salad before serving.
