Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Add soba noodles to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-9 min. When the soba noodles have 5 min cook time remaining, add edamame to the pot.Drain, then rinse soba noodles and edamame under cold water.
Juice lime.Peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp ginger.Thinly slice green onion.Peel, then mince or grate garlic.Roughly chop cilantro.Combine, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, green onions, 2 tsp lime juice, rice vinegar, grated ginger and 2 tsp sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Add soba noodles and edamame, carrots and half the cilantro to the large bowl with dressing, then toss to combine. Divide sesame soba noodles between bowls or plates, then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, crispy shallots and remaining cilantro over top. (TIP: Let sesame soba noodle salad sit in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight to develop extra flavour!)
