Make itInstructions

Start by cooking the soba noodles and shelled edamame according to package instructions. Rinse the soba noodles in cold water once they are done to stop the cooking process.
While those are cooking, chop up the veggies.
Now, layer your salad jars by adding dressing in the bottom of each jar, then edamame, noodles, cabbage, cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds and chili crisp oil.
Store in the fridge until ready to eat, toss everything in the dressing and enjoy!

Notes from the kitchen

**Noodle tips:** Always rinse soba noodles under cold water right after cooking — this stops them from turning gummy and helps them hold up in the fridge for days. **Layering matters:** Dressing always goes on the bottom so the veggies stay crisp until you're ready to shake and eat. Wide-mouth mason jars make filling and tossing much easier. **Gluten-free option:** Look for 100% buckwheat soba noodles and swap soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. **Homemade sesame dressing:** Whisk together 4 tbsp rice vinegar, 4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and chili crisp to taste. **Add more veggies:** Shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, or thinly sliced bell pepper all work beautifully as extras. **Storage:** Sealed jars keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days — no reheating required, just toss and enjoy cold.
