  4. Assemble the bowls
    Divide noodles between 4 containers. Top with cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and edamame. Add sliced miso chicken.

  5. Make the dressing
    Whisk all ingredients until smooth. Store separately or drizzle over bowls before serving.

    Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and a lemon wedge. Serve cold or at room temperature.
