    rice noodle and edamame salad being served

    As much as I love cooking, some nights the thought of cooking dinner is more than I can bear.

    It's not the actual cooking I have a problem with, but some nights it simply boils down to deciding what we're going to actually have for dinner.

    I've given up asking my husband what he wants for dinner because his answer will inevitably be "something yummy".  Helpful, isn't he? 😉

    The problem is that I have so many dishes and recipes I want to try, piled high in Pinterest boards and to-do lists, that I feel completely overwhelmed. So I just turn to my favurite old dinner faithfuls instead.

    In fact, this problem was the inspiration for creating my cookbook - Weeknight One Pot Vegan Cooking - which is packed with simple dishes that can be cooked up in a single pot or pan.

    Another good option is meal planning. I put together a meal plan for the week, and try to stick to it as much as humanly possible. And it's working, so far at least. Check out my guide to vegan meal planning for more inspiration .

    Making Rice Noodle & Edamame Salad

    I do love edamame - which is just soybeans in the pod. Those little morsels are so tasty just dipped in a bit of soy sauce, or incorporated in a tasty vegan pho.

    I wanted to really show off the edamame in this dish - so I made it the star of the show in this edamame salad.

    Vermicelli rice noodles add some substance, making this a light but filling vegetarian (and vegan) meal.

    And it's bursting with flavor from fresh lychee, herbs, red onions, radish, and a homemade Chili-Lime dressing.

    If you don't have access to lychees, you can leave them out and this will still be a tasty edamame salad. But they really are a great addition if you can get your hands on them.

    Even better - this recipe can be pulled together in under 15 minutes!

    This rice noodle and edamame salad is fresh, fast, and light, making it perfect for those hot sticky summer nights when the last thing you feel like doing is slaving away in a hot kitchen. It's also makes a great healthy meatless lunch too!

        Hi Jill, 🙂 I'd suggest trying grapes as a substitute for lychees. Enjoy the salad 😀

      This looks so refreshing and vibrant. Would be great to take to a bbq in the lingering summer heat. As for coriander, Sun, lots and lots of sun. Keep it in a pot until it's quite big and strong before planting it in your garden. I've found if I plant them while they're small they get devoured by pests. Now, please tell me how i can stop caterpillars from eating all of my rocket!

        Thanks for your tips on growing coriander Lily 😀 As for stopping the caterpillars eating your rocket, maybe some fibreglass mesh might stop them?
