Ingredients

  • 1 (3.75 ounce) package bean threads (cellophane noodles)

  • 2 cups frozen sweet soybeans (edamame), thawed

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, cut up or sliced

  • ¾ cup chopped red sweet pepper (1 medium)

  • ¼ cup finely chopped shallots

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 1 ½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger

  • teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • ¼ cup lightly salted peanuts, chopped

  • 1 Lime wedges

Directions

  1. In a large glass bowl combine bean threads and thawed edamame; pour enough boiling water over to cover completely. Cover and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until edamame is tender. Drain well; rinse with cold water and drain again. Snip noodles five or six times. Return noodles and edamame to the bowl. Add broccoli, sweet pepper, and shallot to the noodles; toss together.

  2. For dressing, place peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 100% power (high) about 40 seconds or until melted. Whisk in soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and crushed red pepper. Pour dressing over noodle mixture; toss to combine.

  3. Divide among four serving plates or bowls. Sprinkle with peanuts. If desired, squeeze lime wedges over all.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
