Add your bell peppers and tomatoes. Cook 3-4 minutes. You do not want the veggies too soft. Toss in your shelled edamame.

Can’t find soba noodles at the grocery store?
Soba noodles are in the ethnic foods isle at the grocery store. If your grocery store does not carry them, you can get them here on Amazon.
And you can get my favorite soup/cereal bowls here.
