Directions
Prepare the peanut sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red chili flakes.
In a pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat 30 mL (2 tbsp) of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown tempeh on all sides. Add 190 mL (¾ cup) of water, cover and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, until water is evaporated.
Remove tempeh from the pan and place in peanut butter sauce.
In the same pan, heat 15 mL (1 tbsp) of vegetable oil. Sauté peppers and carrots for 5 minutes. Stir in edamame to heat through. Remove from the pan and add to peanut butter sauce bowl.
Boil soba buckwheat noodles according to package directions. Reserve 125 mL (½ cup) of cooking water and drain. Add noodles and reserved water to the bowl with vegetables, tempeh, and sauce. Gently toss to coat.
Garnish with sesame seeds and peanuts. Serve immediately.
