Healthy Asian Chicken and Buckwheat Noodles

This is my take on a healthy noodle bowl recipe. I saw a similar recipe once but changed it a bit to meet my family's taste bud requirements.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 5

Ingredients

• 8  ounces buckwheat noodles, cooked according to package instructions
• 1⁄2 cup scallion, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 cup edamame, shelled
• 1  cup  shredded chicken
• 1⁄4 cup carrot, fine julienne
• 3  tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3  tablespoons  shoyu
• 2  tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1  tablespoon  dark sesame oil
• 1  tablespoon chili sauce, with garlic
• 2  teaspoons honey
• 2  tablespoons cilantro
• 2  teaspoons black sesame seeds

Directions

1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, drain, and rinse noodles with cold water. I normally DO NOT recommend rinsing pasta, but this one I do because I like to cool it down fast.
2. In a large bowl, combine noodles, scallions, edamame, carrots, and chicken.
3. In another bowl whisk together the cooking water, vinegar, shoyu, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce, and honey.
4. Pour dressing over noodles. Toss and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.
5. Serve with additional chopped cilantro or scallions as a garnish if desired.
