Set aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy saut\u00e9 pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saut\u00e9 until tender, 4 minutes. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper before adding it to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C), about 5 minutes per side. Place on a cutting board and let rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the chicken rests, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and edamame and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the serving bowl with the mushrooms. Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the noodles from overcooking. Add the noodles to the vegetables in the bowl. Toss with the soy sauce dressing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinly slice the chicken against the grain and place on top of the noodle mixture. Sprinkle green onions over the top and serve. (The salad can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 2 cups noodle mixture plus 4 oz chicken<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Nutrition (per serving):<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calories: 357; Total Fat: 10g; Saturated Fat: 1g; Monounsaturated Fat: 4g; Polyunsaturated Fat: 3g; Cholesterol: 51mg; Sodium: 584mg; Carbohydrate: 43g; Dietary Fiber: 6g; Sugar: 8g; Protein: 29g<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Nutrition Bonus:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potassium: 703mg; Iron: 15%; Vitamin A: 46%; Vitamin C: 117%; Calcium: 9%<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originally published June 21, 2018; Updated July 2026<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/soba-noodle-salad-with-ginger-dressing\/\">Soba Noodle Salad With Ginger Dressing<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\">MyFitnessPal Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this salad, soba noodles are tossed with plenty of vegetables, grilled chicken and a gingery dressing for a fiber rich meal.<br \/>\nThe post Soba Noodle Salad With Ginger Dressing appeared first on MyFitnessPal Blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":148040,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":""},"categories":[20,1,21,22,19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148059"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148059"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148060,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148059\/revisions\/148060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
