VEGGIE NOODLE BOWL

This quick side dish channels many different flavors, and you can shift the spice level the way that you want. You can also just serve it as the main dish, or an appetizer. While I'm not a fan of bean sprouts, you can elevate the dish with them, and add grilled chicken or pork. 

The recipe is from Cooking Light. 2 servings. (You can double the ingredients for 4 servings)
