Make hoisin sauce by blending light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, Chinese five spice, dates, maple syrup, and water until smooth.

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

Remove stems from portobello mushrooms, slice them, and coat with hoisin sauce in a bowl.

Place mushrooms on a lined baking tray and brush with extra hoisin sauce. Roast for 15-20 minutes until caramelized.

Boil water and pour over rice noodles in a bowl, let sit for 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water.

Use the noodle water to boil edamame beans for 2-3 minutes until slightly soft.

Prepare vegetables: slice spring onions, red cabbage, carrots, and cucumber.

Make a dressing by shaking sesame oil, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame seeds, and grated ginger in a jar.

Assemble the bowl with noodles, roasted mushrooms, and arranged vegetables, then drizzle with dressing and hoisin sauce.
