This cool noodle salad has a spicy-hot zip from the chile paste in the mayonnaise. A similar spread is tucked into some varieties of sushi.

Ingredients:

8 ounces uncooked soba (buckwheat noodles)

1 cup frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)

1 cup diced english cucumber

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons white miso (soybean paste)

1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon chile paste with garlic (such as sambal oelek)

1 teaspoon dark sesame oil

1 1/4 cups fresh bean sprouts

Directions:

1. Cook soba in boiling water 2 minutes; add edamame. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water. Drain; cool. Place soba mixture in a bowl. Add cucumber and onions.
2. Combine mayonnaise and next 5 ingredients (through oil); stir with a whisk. Pour over the soba mixture; toss well. Top with bean sprouts.
