Teriyaki Rice Noodles with Veggies and Beans

Makes 8 servings

This is a variation on the noodle dish Pad Thai, but it uses beans as the protein instead of shrimp and chicken, which is the more usual combination. Teriyaki sauce is a favorite of children because of its sweet taste.

dash hot pepper sauce dash
1  can (19 oz/540 mL) mixed beans, drained and rinsed (about 2 cups/ 500 mL) 1
