- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the noodles.
- Meanwhile, combine the first 10 ingredients (tahini through sesame oil) in a blender. Process to a smooth, creamy sauce. Set aside.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden and fragrant. Immediately transfer the seeds to a bowl and set aside.
- When the water boils, add the soba noodles. Boil for 4 to 5 minutes, testing often, until no longer hard in the center. Drain and immediately run under cold water.
- Combine the cooked noodles with the sauce, chicken, and veggies. Scatter the toasted sesame seeds and green onions on top, and serve at room temperature.
