The Game Plan

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse under cold water until completely cool, and toss with a splash of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

  2. Cook 1 1/2 cups frozen edamame according to package directions (usually 3–4 minutes in boiling water). Drain and cool.

  3. Julienne the cucumber and thinly shred 2 cups of red cabbage.

  4. Make the dressing: whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, garlic, lime juice, and sriracha if using.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the cold noodles, edamame, cucumber, shredded carrots, and red cabbage.

  6. Pour the dressing over everything and toss thoroughly to coat.

  7. Top with sliced green onions and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds.

  8. Serve cold or at room temperature.
