Edamame Pasta + Ginger Sesame Green Beans

This was inspired by a dish my mom used to make growing up, ginger sesame "greenie beanies". Perhaps that's where my obsession with ginger came from! Super easy to make + good for you.

I also saw this fancy Edamame pasta in the grocery store a few weeks ago and thought, no way, too good to be true. I broke down the other day and bought it to test it out, and man am I glad I did!! AMAZING! How do they do it??!!!! It's 100% organic edamame and 25g protein per serving. 

As I was thinking what to put on the pasta, this Asian-esque combo came together PERFECTLY. Also I bought a lot of sesame seeds the other day, finally, and just feel so fancy now putting them on everything I make. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Explore the World Edamame Pasta
  • 1/2 onion chopped 
  • 1 bunch green beans
  • 1 cooked sweet potato
  • Couple tablespoons sesame seeds  
  • 1 piece peeled + chopped ginger 
  • Sauce - soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, pinch of nutritional yeast, ume plum vinegar
  • Topping - more sesame seeds, green onion

To prepare: 

  1. Prepare pasta as directed - I left it al dente and rinsed with cold water. Not mushy one bit! 
  2. Sautee the onion, add garlic, then add sesame seeds and stir all together, lightly toasting the sesame seeds. 
  3. Add chopped green beans, dash of soy sauce 
  4. Add cooked sweet potato, mix all together and heat through 
  5. In your bowl, put edamame pasta, green been + sweet potatoes on top. 
  6. For the sauce, I just put to taste - soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, pinch of nutritional yeast, ume plum vinegar, etc. I love my food super sour so you can adjust to your liking. 
  7. Top with more sesame seeds + green onions
  8. Enjoy!
