If you are here for baby led weaning meals- I skipped the toppings on her meal, and picked out any onion slices that were not BLW approved. If you want to make it a lower carb version, you can substitute spaghetti squash or black bean noodles for the stir-fry rice noodles. I like to use a lime-infused olive oil or a garlic to bring out a little extra flavor in the dish.**contains peanuts**
