Method
- 1
Boil everything together
⏱ 8 minBring a large pot of water to the boil and add the soba. Two minutes before the packet time is up, add the broccoli florets and the frozen edamame straight from the bag. One pot, one drain.
- 2
Drain and rinse
Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to stop the noodles cooking, then shake dry.
- 3
Dress
Tip into a bowl and toss with the soy sauce, sesame oil and lime juice while still slightly warm, so it drinks the dressing.
- 4
Serve
Scatter with the scallions and sesame seeds. Good warm now or cold from the fridge tomorrow.
Notes
Adding the broccoli and edamame to the noodle water saves a pan and times itself. Rinse only briefly — you want the noodles cool enough to stop cooking but still warm enough to absorb the dressing.
