Add your scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and Thai chillis (or red pepper flakes). Cook 1-2 minutes until soft.
Add your bell peppers and tomatoes. Cook 3-4 minutes. You do not want the veggies too soft. Toss in your shelled edamame.
Cook your soba noodles per the package, should take ~4 minutes.
Turn the heat to medium-high. Add your soy sauce, sake, and honey to the sauté pan. Toss to coat. Cook 30 seconds to 1 minute until the alcohol cooks out, but you don't want to reduce the sauce too much.
Turn the heat back down to medium. Add your soba noodles to the sauté pan. Add your basil. Toss well to coat.
