- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable stock more as needed
For the Noodles:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper seeded and sliced thinly
- 2 medium-size sweet potatoes peeled and spiralized (as seen in the photos) – You should have 5-6 cups of “noodles”

As Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
- To make the dressing: Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you are ready to use it.
- To cook the sweet potato noodles: Heat olive oil in a large skillet in medium heat. Add in the onion and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, 5-7 minutes.
- Add in the sweet potato noodles and vegetable stock and cook, stirring frequently, for 6-7 minutes.
- Pour the dressing over the noodles and give it a large stir, making sure that the noodles are coated with the dressing. Cook 2-3 minutes until it is warm.
- Off the heat, stir in the edamame and chopped cilantro.
- To serve, divide the noodles in 4 bowls and garnish each one with sesame seeds, green onions, and peanuts.

Notes
- If you are not gluten-sensitive, you can use soy sauce instead of tamari, but make sure to taste the dressing before adding more salt to it.
- To Make ahead: To make this dish ahead of time, spiralize your sweet potatoes up to 3-4 days in advance. Just be sure to remove air from the noodles’ container during storage. I recommend storing them in an airtight jar or a Ziploc bag with as much air removed as possible. You can also prepare the dressing up to two days in advance, storing it in an airtight container. Finally, you may also chop your vegetables on the day you plan to serve your noodles dish to eliminate prep time.
- Store: To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
