    This is one of Ottolenghi’s dishes that is a breeze to make, relatively speaking. And there are always those times when Spring Onions (scallions, green onions) pile up in the fridge, forgotten. They are generally used in salads or as a garnish for soups and other dishes but rarely shine as a main ingredient. It is time to change that, and Ottolenghi is just the person to provide some inspiration. BTW, the lime juice really makes this dish come alive. Don't omit - it is absolutely necessary.

    One of those dishes that looks like it needs something else for balance or ratio that convinces you otherwise in a subtle way.

    I didn't have enough edamame, so I also added blanched broccoli florets. I did not use quite the full amount of green onions ("only" 4 bunches), but they actually cook down a lot, so I actually could have used more. I added crabmeat, as suggested, and we loved it.

    I made this dish using ingredients I happened to already have on hand. This meant fewer spring onions and more edamame than Ottolenghi calls for, and no cilantro. I also used up some extra wide rice noodles from the freezer, which I have decided are not my favorite rice noodle, but worked much better here than I had expected. This was really a great, quick dinner dish, and being as it incorporates only a few very basic fresh ingredients (spring onions, lime, cilantro), this is a good recipe to reach for when you don't have much in the fridge and still want something fresh and vibrant tasting.

    ...the cold leftovers from the refrigerator the next day were delicious too. The lime and chiles work their way through the few other ingredients to brighten the whole dish.
