Get dinner on the table in a flash with these super quick five-ingredient Asian noodle bowls. Chewy brown rice noodles are slathered in a savory ginger-garlic sauce and tossed with steamed veggies to create a quick and easy meal that’s healthy and hearty. Our recipe calls for an Asian stir-fry blend of frozen vegetables, but it can easily be adapted to accommodate any fresh or frozen vegetables you have on hand. Just adjust the steaming time accordingly, and toss them in. These saucy noodles keep well in the fridge and taste great hot or cold, so you might want to make a big batch to munch on during busy weeks. 

Tip: To make this dish gluten-free, use tamari in place of soy sauce.

The former food editor of Vegetarian Times magazine has done away with her dependency on butter and is honing her skills at baking with natural sweeteners. Chappell lives in France, where plant-based eating can often be a challenge, but the fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes available are simply amazing. Find her on Instagram and Facebook.
