Edamame Lo Mein

This is not the greasy Lo Mein from Chinese take-out, it tastes even better and is healthier for you. and you get plenty of nutrients with the addition of edamame, a great vegetarian protein source. if you haven't had edamame you should try it! i love the get them in their pods and put sea salt on them cold. you can usually find it in the frozen food section by the vegetarian frozen meals or veggie burgers.
