Edamame Lo Mein is a take on the classic Chinese dish that traditionally includes meat and egg noodles. This vegetarian version swaps out the meat for edamame and uses gluten-free rice noodles to accommodate more dietary needs. The addition of sesame oil and ginger gives the dish a nutty and slightly-spicy flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the bell pepper and carrots. This dish is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner that is both delicious and nutritious.

1.Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
2.Heat the sesame oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3.Add green onions, mung bean sprouts, red bell pepper, grated zucchini, grated carrots, and portabella mushroom. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

5.In a small bowl, whisk together Braggs liquid aminos or soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, crushed garlic, lime juice, minced ginger, and peanut butter.
6.Pour sauce over the noodle mixture, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until edamame is heated through and everything is well coated in the sauce.
7.Serve topped with chopped peanuts (optional) and cilantro.
