Sweet and Sour Glass Noodle Veggie Bowl with a Side of Crunch

This Glass Noodle Veggie Bowl recipe is a sponsored collaboration with Mizkan and the Forward Influence Network. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Although it may be true, we want food fast, fast food is not good for a healthier lifestyle.

Nor is fast food budget-friendly.

Conversely, fast food preparation in your kitchen is a must during the week.

After all, I am sure you are famished when you come home just like me.

I don’t like hard-to-create recipes so I never make them.

Rather, I prefer fresh-made-fresh, bowls that can easily be changed up.

A change-up can be as simple as adding in a protein like beef, chicken, pork, or seafood.

Now let’s talk about the Natural Rice Vinegar, and Rice Vinegar.

They are the game-changer ingredients that make this bowl recipe remarkably tasty.

Rice Vinegar & Mirin- Things You Need To Know

You can use Natural Rice Vinegar to create endless authentic Japanese-inspired recipes at home.

Of course, this is not the only recipe that I use Natural Rice Vinegar in but, it is definitely one I wanted to share!

In order to achieve the success of delectable taste, you need the very best in Rice Vinegar.

What’s more important is that Natural Rice Vinegar rice vinaigrette is less acidic than other kinds of vinegar.

After all, Natural Rice Vinegar and sauces are truly the secret ingredients to power up all those Japanese-inspired foods and flavors at home!

How Do You Use Natural Rice Vinegar and Mirin?

Natural Rice Vinegar is versatile enough to use in hot or cold dishes to enhance flavors.

Curious about how to use it? Try pairing it for sushi making, delicious marinades, and salad dressings.

For this reason, your possibilities are endless. Get creative, just like I did to make a vinaigrette salad dressing for glass noodles!

The Zero Factor with Natural Rice Vinegar.

There are zero fat and no calories in Rice Vinegar! Let’s call this a winning find!

With this in mind, go splash-tastic and drizzle crazy!

Truly, Natural Rice Vinegar adds a lot of flavor without any guilt.

As mentioned before, Natural Rice Vinegar can be used in place of harsher tasting vinegar varieties with flavorful results.

Mirin is a must-have Japanese ingredient staple in your home.

The flavors in the bottle are a trifecta of sweet, sour and bitter, yet lend so well to any dish.

For me, it’s all about the veggies. I take the bitter off with a splash of soy. It’s crazy good!

Mirin can be used to create your own teriyaki sauce, for cooking veggies in (like my recipe), braising meats, in soup, and in stir-fried udon noodles.

Additionally, Mirin can integrate a great tangy and rich flavor as well as a shine to a dipping sauce, broth, marinade, and glaze.

You just have to try it to really taste its balance in the dishes.

Come on, make this simple recipe!

Vinaigrette for The Glass Noodle Veggie Bowl

Side of Crunch

While I love cooked food, the glass noodles can be of a ‘squishy texture’ and the veggies are softer in texture as well.

So, to change that, I also cut up extra strips of peppers and toss them into the bowl.

This is totally optional, but really tasty and makes for a differing texture in each bite!

Timing And Keeping The Glass Noodle Veggie Bowl Simple

In spite of being ready to devour anything not locked down and eating bad junk food, I prepare this meal religiously each week.

It’s important to realize that those veggies you purchase each week can be introduced into this and cook in no time!

Glass Noodle Veggie Bowl and a Tip To Keep It Simple

You can precook the Glass Noodles days ahead and add a little oil to them to keep them from sticking to one another.

For this reason, it’s a perfect go-to meal during the week.

Plus, with all of the great packaged pre-cut veggies in the store produce aisle, you can buy the veggies already cut, cleaned, and ready to be cooked!

Measuring is not a thing when it comes to bowl prep

Just a side note, before I go on.

Bowls are great food and one of my faves to prepare.

Therefore, there are no specific measurements.

If you prefer 2 portions of the glass noodles make them.

I generally use an over-sized bowl and fill er’ up.

However, I do not fill it with all Glass Noodles, those I portion to keep skinny on the carb intake.

For the most part, I keep staples like carrots, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, and tri-colored peppers in my fridge.

Veggies can be changed up for others you might prefer, including bigger chunks instead of skinny sticks and things like zucchini, cabbage, maybe some ginger, large white onion pieces, and so on.

You can add far more veggies and fewer glass noodles or more glass noodles and fewer veggies.

The flexibility of this glass noodle veggie bowl is what makes it fantastic and personalized to each person that creates it!
