Black Rice Noodle and Edamame Salad With Red Peppers and Cilantr

Submitted by Anastasia G.

"Delicious, light, yummy. I use King Soba's Organic Black Rice Soba Noodles, and Auntie Chun's Roasted Seaweed Snacks in Wasabi for the dried nori seaweed topping... it's a little spicy, but is great paired with the sweetness of the rice vinegar/peanut dressing as well as the vegetables and cilantro."
