rice noodle bowl with veggies

it's been a long time since i made dinner for just one, however, i do remember these next few posted recipes coming in handy on more than one occasion back in the day {which was a wednesday, by the way}. add 1/2 c cooked chicken or beef or pork to this one for variation. it can also easily be doubled, tripled, etc to accommodate a hungry family. happy tasting!
