Instructions 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the edamame and boil until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked edamame to a bowl and return the water to a rolling boil.
  • Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Drain thoroughly, return both the noodles and edamame to the pot and set aside.
  • Prepare the sauce by whisking the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, peanut butter and sriracha together in a small bowl. Pour over the noodles and edamame, toss to combine and set aside.
  • Tip: Microwave the peanut butter for 15 to 20 seconds on 80% power to make it easier to combine.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the cabbage and stir fry until tender and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sliced carrots, bell pepper and garlic and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the scallions, sesame oil and sesame seeds, cook for an additional 30 seconds, then add the entire mixture to the noodles and edamame and combine thoroughly.
  • Plate individual servings and offer extra sriracha at the table for those who like a bit more heat.
