Recipe: Vegetarian Edamame Noodle Bowl
January 29, 2019RecipesRecipes: Spring & Summer

Pasta alternatives are all the rage. There’s a good reason for it! Depending on what the nutrition label says, of course. Pasta or noodles that are made from beans or legumes have a higher percentage of protein and fiber. Pair with colorful vegetables (and a fruit!) and you’ve got an amazing, delicious, plate method meal.

Finding your plates to be a solid color? In need of some color inspiration? We’ve got you with this recipe, backed with science. Check out the tip below to switch up the color spectrum!

Vegetarian Edamame Noodle Bowl

Serves 3-4

Ingredients

  • 1 package edamame noodles (we used Explore Organic Edamame + Mung Bean Fettuccine)
  • 1/2 C peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 1/2 C rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 C grape tomatoes, sliced
  • 1  C apple, cubed (we used golden delicious)
  • 1/2 C cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 C purple cabbage, shredded
  • 1 C carrots, shredded
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 avocado, sliced

 

Directions

  1. Prepare noodles per instructions on box. If using Explore’s Mung Bean + Edamame fettuccine: bring water to boil in pot on stove over high heat. Add noodles. Reduce to medium heat. Cook 5-7 minutes. Strain and place in large bowl.
  2. Combine peanut butter, honey, olive oil, vinegar, ginger, and sriracha sauce in small bowl.
  3. Drizzle noodles with sauce. Toss with grape tomatoes, apple, cilantro, cabbage, and carrots.
  4. Top with sesame seeds and sliced avocado. Serve warm or cold.

 

Our advice: eat the rainbow! We can’t emphasize it enough. Why? Every color holds different nutritional values. Whether it’s vitamins, minerals, or phytonutrients – color reflects chemistry and visually identifies nutrient diversity. When we eat the rainbow, we supply our bodies with a variety of nutrients that support metabolism and health.

To add, colorful ingredients will taste different. If you’re ever bored with your plate, find a color you haven’t had in a while! Getting out of a food rut and away from repetitive meals can help kick health progress plateaus to the curb.
