In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, tamari, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, grated garlic, and maple syrup until fully combined. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil. Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
03 -
Toss drained noodles with the prepared dressing. Divide noodles into 2 to 4 serving bowls. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over avocado slices and add them to each bowl along with snap peas, edamame, thinly sliced radishes, fresh mint leaves, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Drizzle extra tamari or toasted sesame oil if desired.
