Heat the oil in skillet over medium-high and add the ginger and garlic. Stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add shiitakes and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender and starting to brown.
Reduce the heat to medium, and then add the cabbage and most of scallions (reserve about a tablespoon for garnish) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is crisp-tender. Add the sauce and simmer 2 minutes.
While cabbage is cooking, cook soba and edamame together in a pasta pot of boiling until the noodles are just tender.
Drain in a colander and rinse under cool water to stop cooking and remove excess starch, then drain well again. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the sesame seeds and vegetable mixture. Serve sprinkled with reserved scallions.
