  • 1 tbsp light soy source
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ginger finely diced or grated
  • 2-3 tbsp water to thin

    3 tbsp peanut butter, 1 lime, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp light soy source, 1 tsp maple syrup, 1 tsp ginger, 2-3 tbsp water
  • Assemble the jars: Start with the dressing at the bottom. Layer in this order: soba noodles, grated carrot, edamame, cucumber, chicken, and coriander on top.

  • To serve: Tip the contents of a jar into a bowl. If there is dressing left at the bottom of the jar, add about 2 tablespoons of warm water to the empty jar, pop the lid back on, and shake to loosen any leftover dressing. Pour it over your salad and toss well before eating.
