Prepare soba noodles according to package instructions in lightly salted water. Drain noodles after cooking, rinse thoroughly with cold water and set aside.
Cut chicken breast into small bite sizes pieces. Season with salt, ginger powder, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for 8 minutes - tossing frequently. Check for an internal temp of 165F before removing chicken from pan.
While the chicken cools, mix together low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and fresh ginger in a small mixing bowl.
Add soba noodles to a large mixing bowl with carrots, edamame, green onion and cooked chicken
Pour the sauce over the soba noodles, chicken and veggies and toss to coat everything evenly. Toss in toasted sesame seeds and serve

If you want to re-heat these chicken soba noodles, I recommend heating the sauce and pouring it over the warm soba noodles and chicken. You can also simply reheat these noodles in the microwave.
Frequently, soba noodles are made with additional whole wheat flour to prevent the noodles from deteriorating. If you need gluten-free noodles, it is important to make sure you buy soba noodles that are made only from buckwheat or other gluten free flours.
If you want to add additional veggies to the dish, I recommend red bell peppers but most veggies will work.
