1 to 2tablespoonssesame seeds
Chopped cilantrofor garnish
1tablespoongluten-free tamari
Lime juice
1tablespoonThai sweet chili sauce
Instructions
To make the sauce, combine the mango, avocado, garlic, shallot, tomatoes, cilantro and yogurt in a food processor, blending until mixed. Add the Asian sweet red chili sauce, cumin and oil, and blend again. Taste, and add the salt and pepper to taste. Blend, then stop and scrape the sides if needed. Add a dash of lime juice. Blend once more until a creamy thick consistency is formed.
For the bowls, soak the rice noodles in hot water for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water and check for tenderness. If they are still not tender enough, place them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Rinse with cold water and place in a medium bowl with the edamame. Toss with 2/3 cup or more of the sauce.
Divide evenly among the serving bowls. Top with the bell pepper, green onion, nuts, sesame seeds and cilantro. Drizzle with the tamari, a splash of lime juice, Thai sweet chili sauce and any extra reserved sauce, if desired. Season with salt.
