It may look like ramen, it may look like pho, but this noodle dish is totally faux (it also makes us want to bust out in rhymes). While most Asian-inspired noodle bowls are made with rice or wheat noodles, this gluten-free version calls for ruby-red adzuki bean spaghetti! Bringing both color and flavor to this dish, this bean-based pasta is loaded with organic, plant-based protein. You can totally modify this dish to fit any diet or lifestyle. For example, if you’re vegan, omit the eggs and swap the chicken broth for vegetable stock. No matter which way you prepare this recipe, you and your dinner dates will love it!
