1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (1/4 tablespoon if freshly minced)

  5. In a container, whisk peanut butter, avocado oil, rice wine vinegar and garlic, set aside.
  6. Make ice bath to stop soba noodles from cooking and remove excess starch.
  7. Add drained soba noodles to ice bath, rinse soba and gently squeeze excess water. Add to bowl with kale.
  8. Drain edamame, add to bowl with kale and soba and top with dressing. Using tongs, toss gently and evenly to coat.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temp.
