Questions

How much time should I plan for Vegan Edamame Soba Noodle Salad?

As written, 20 minutes: 20 of prep and 0 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 4, 24 hours. That wait sits outside the stated prep and cook times, so plan around it.

What can I use instead of maple syrup in Vegan Edamame Soba Noodle Salad?

Is Vegan Edamame Soba Noodle Salad spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Vegan Edamame Soba Noodle Salad comes from 1/2 tsp sriracha (optional). For a milder plate, start with half the sriracha and add more to taste at the end; nothing else in the method changes.
