๐Ÿ… INSTRUCTIONS:

==========

  1. Open the package and drain the liquid. Place in a colander and wash thoroughly under running water. Set aside. When you open the package, shirataki noodles have an unpleasant odor. Don't be discouraged. It will be gone once cooked.

  2. Mince white part of scallions. We need about one tablespoon for the sauce.

  3. Cut vegetables into bite size. Separate Chinese broccoli stems and leaves since it takes longer for stems to cook.

  4. Grate ginger and press garlic.

  5. Bring 6 cups of water to boil.

  6. While waiting for water to boil, let's make sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients above and mix.

  7. When water is boiled, add noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl.

  8. Marinate the noodles with half of the sauce and stir. Shirataki noodles tend to be very long. In that case cut it into half.

  9. Stir fry vegetables. Starting with veggies that take longer to cook such as Chinese broccoli stems ,carrot and red cabbage. Also vegetables that release flavors by cooking longer such as mushrooms, celery and scallions.

  10. When these vegetables are cooked, add Chinese broccoli leaves, red bell pepper and marinated noodles. Then add the rest of the sauce and stir.

  11. Add baby spinach, stir and remove from heat.

  12. Garnish with sliced scallion, sesame seeds and red chili pepper

  13. ENJOY!
