    These are a great accompaniment to the thai-spiced beef lettuce wraps. The simplicity of this dish makes it a hit with kids.

    • 2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
    • 1/4 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts

    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
    • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
    • In a large pot of boiling, generously salted water, cook the noodles according to package directions for al dente. Drain well and set aside.

    • 2. To make these noodles into an easy vegetarian main dish, add snow peas and tofu for fiber and protein. Voila!
    • 3. These noodles are also tasty cold. Perfect for lunch boxes!
