Ingredients

For the Noodle Bowls

8 ounces spaghetti noodles or lo mein/soba noodles
2 cups coleslaw mix
2 carrots grated
2 cups frozen edamame thawed
3 green onions sliced

2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain , rinse under cold water, and place in a large serving bowl.
To the spaghetti, add the edamame, coleslaw mix, carrots, green onions, and cilantro.
In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the sesame oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes (if using).

Serve chilled or at room temperature with extra lime wedges & enjoy!

Notes

Serving Suggestions

This recipe is great on its own, but for more added protein, you can serve this with cornstarch baked tofu, crispy honey garlic tofu, or some pan-fried tempeh.

For even more added flavor, try adding a scoop of our spicy pickled red onions.

It goes great with a delicious and refreshing pineapple cucumber smoothie too.

Expert Tips

Meal prepping these edamame bowls? You can either toss everything together or store the elements separately in your meal prep containers and toss right before enjoying.
Making the 5-minute dressing is really worth the effort as it elevates the dish and adds a wonderful, fresh, sweet flavor! But if you don't have time, using bottled dressing works well in a pinch.
