1 cup fresh fava beans, shelled, blanched in boiling water, and waxy coating removed
1 1/2 cups asparagus, chopped into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli florets
10 ounces buckwheat soba noodles
1 cup shredded carrot
2 scallions, sliced
6 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons avocado or walnut oil (you can substitute olive oil as well)
1 clove finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1
Fit a pot of boiling water with a vegetable steamer. Steam the fava beans, asparagus, and broccoli till slightly tender and bright green (about 2 minutes). Quickly rinse under cool water to preserve color and crunch, and set aside.
2
Whisk the vinegar, syrup, sesame and avocado oil, garlic, ginger, tamari, and lime juice together to make the dressing. Set aside.
3
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. When the noodles are ready, drain them and transfer them to a large bowl.
4
Mix the steamed vegetables and raw carrots and scallions with the noodles. Dress the noodles generously (you may have a little dressing leftover). Allow them to sit for an hour or two before serving. You can add a few more tablespoons of dressing before you serve.
