Vegan Sunflower Butter Noodle Bowl

This vegan sunflower butter noodle bowl is nut-free and gluten-free and so flavorful!

1 pound soba noodles (for gluten-free version, make sure you look for 100% buckwheat soba noodles, which I can find at Whole Foods)
3 garlic cloves
1 3-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
½ cup rice vinegar
⅓ cup sunflower butter
¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
2 tablespoons sambal oelek
1 tablespoon tamari sauce (or coconut animos for soy-free version)
⅓ cup edamame (replace with snap peas for soy-free version)
1 red bell pepper, cored and julienned
1 cucumber, cut in half, seeds scooped out, and thinly sliced
2 green onions, cut on the diagonal
10-15 mint leaves, ripped into pieces
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
