1 tbsp sesame oil
1-2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tsp ginger, grated

For serving:
3-4 tbsp sesame seeds

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water and drain. Place in a large bowl.
In the meantime, defrost the Edamame by placing them in a bowl and covering them with boiling water.
Add the prepared vegetables to the noodles.

For the sauce, place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until creamy. If the consistency is too firm, add a little coconut milk.
Pour half of the sauce over the noodle salad, add the peanuts and mix well.
