Ingredients:
- 230g dried udon noodles

- 1 bunch scallions
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup julienned snow peas

Instructions:
- Prepare the udon noodles according to the package instructions; then drain and allow to cool. While that's going on, follow the package instructions to cook the edamame; then drain and let it cool.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat and grease the grates with oil. Place the scallions on the grill, cook while turning occasionally until they get charred, approximately 3 minutes. Allow them to cool down before slicing them.
- Create the dressing by mixing together tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger in a large bowl. Incorporate 1 to 2 tablespoons of water into the mix until you achieve a smooth sauce.
- Combine the noodles and edamame with the dressing, then add the bean sprouts, carrots, and snow peas; give it a good toss. Finish by sprinkling some sesame seeds on top.
