Ginger Rice Noodles with Soy Brown Butter Sauce

Here is a quick, easy, gluten-free dish that is also amazing.  The ginger, edamame, scallions and cabbage added to the texture, color and flavor.  Other proteins can be substitutes for the ground chicken (ground beef or pork, tofu or shredded chicken).  The fact that it is gluten-free is great - it fits in with Foodie Mama's current eating habits.

This recipe is for two and takes 30 minutes, tops, to prepare.
