1

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.

2

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.

3

Remove tempeh from the pan and place in peanut butter sauce.

4

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.
