"If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools."
Katherine Mansfield, Author
This recipe is quick and simple and was inspired by those dishes that I have had at Asian restaurants. Usually they are full of fat and salt, but this version focuses on the great ginger flavor, with lots of great veggies and about half the calories and sodium.

Add the lime juice, vinegar and soy sauce with the pepper and edamame.
Add the noodles to the boiling water. Stir occasionally. The noodles will cook quickly.
