Asian Vegan Recipe: Pineapple Coconut Noodles

SV Note: We found that assembling and prepping all the ingredients ahead was a good idea, as this recipe came together very quickly.

Nava Atlas Note: This recipe is most authentic with wide flat rice noodles, but no matter how carefully I cook them, they fall apart in the dish. Instead, I use whole-grain soba noodles. Any long, thin noodle will work, though, and this is also good with whole wheat spaghettini. You can get all the ingredients in the Asian foods section of any well-stocked supermarket or natural foods store.
