Either way, there are many different types of rice and vegetable-based noodles for those with celiac or gluten sensitivities. This healthy meal in one is a delicious way to reap the benefits of plant-based superfoods. There are vitamins, minerals, and nutrients galore, plus changing the vegetable lineup is a creative way to reinvent this bowl again and again.

MAKES 2 SERVINGS

  • 4 ounces purple or brown rice noodles or buckwheat noodles
  • ½ cup frozen edamame or lima beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive coconut, or avocado oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Rinse with cool water and set aside. Blanch the edamame in boiling salted water for 3minutes, then rinse and set aside. Put the oil, onion, cabbage, and carrot in a large skillet. Sauté over medium heat for several minutes, stirring constantly.
