Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Boil edamame and cook soba noodles

   11 min

   Boil your kettle, then take out a frying pan and a saucepan. Pour the boiling water from the kettle into the saucepan and place it over a medium heat. Once the water is bubbling, boil the edamame for 2-3 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon (so you can use the same water for the noodles), drain and rinse under cold water. Add the soba noodles and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until tender but still al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles, rinse them under cold water, and set them aside in a colander to drain thoroughly.

   Equipment: kettle, saucepan, slotted spoon, colander

2. Prepare chilli and mix dressing

   4 min

   Remove the stem from the red chilli . Finely mince half of it and mix it with the mango soba noodle dressing in a small bowl. Thinly slice the rest of the chilli for garnish. Red chillies can vary in spiciness depending on the season, so always taste a little first to check the spiciness and decide how much you'd like to use. Add the minced chilli gradually to the dressing, tasting as you go, to make sure the heat level is just right for you!
