Lately, whether talking to friends or scouring through blogs, Meatless Monday seems to be a recurring theme. I figured last night’s Miso Infused Green Bean, Broccoli and Edamame Stir Fry was perfectly fitting for a vegan post. I added Broccoli and asparagus to the mix for good measure, but for a meat free evening, the combination of edamame and green beans alone surmounts to a considerable dose of protein. A wonderful spin on greens and brown rice, it’s certainly worth a try, solo or as a side x x
