RECIPE BY Cooking Light

This cool noodle salad has a spicy-hot zip from the chile paste in the mayonnaise. A similar spread is tucked into some varieties of sushi.

  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
  • 1 cup diced English cucumber
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons white miso (soybean paste)
  • 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chile paste with garlic (such as sambal oelek)
  • 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh bean sprouts

While this did have some heat, it was surprisingly bland. I typically love soba noodles, but I will not make this again.
