sesame noodles + veggies


Gwyneth Paltrow's new cookbook, It's All Easy, is home run. This sesame noodles recipe is delicious and I've added some veggies and edamame to make it a whole meal. It's hubby-approved, he even asked that this go on regular rotation. Score another one for team vegan!

One great thing about this recipe is that you can use whatever noodles you have on hand. I used udon, but you could also use rice noodles, soba, or spaghetti in a pinch. Also, I steamed my veggies, but the tamari + mirin + sesame oil makes for a very tasty stir-fry.

adapted from It's All Easy's Recipe
