# What You Need:

01 - 14 oz shirataki noodles, drained and rinsed

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 cup bok choy, sliced
03 - 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
04 - 1/2 cup snow peas, trimmed

10 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
11 - 1 garlic clove, minced

→ Garnish

14 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
15 - Fresh cilantro or basil leaves

# Directions:

01 - Drain shirataki noodles, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and boil for 2 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, maple syrup, and chili flakes until well combined.
03 - Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
04 - Add bok choy and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until wilted and fragrant.
05 - Add drained shirataki noodles to the pan and pour the ginger sauce over top. Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until noodles are heated through and vegetables remain crisp-tender.
06 - Divide the noodle mixture between serving bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs as desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It's ready faster than ordering takeout, and you actually know what's in every bite.
  • The ginger sauce brings a warmth and complexity that makes something so simple feel like you tried way harder than you did.
  • You can throw in whatever vegetables are haunting your fridge and it always works out.
02 -
  • If you skip rinsing and drying the shirataki noodles properly, they'll turn mushy or clump into a gluey mess—it's a mistake I made exactly once.
  • The sauce is bold by design; if you add the noodles and vegetables and it seems too intense, remember that the vegetables will gently mellow it out as everything melds together in those final minutes.
03 -
  • Toast your own sesame seeds in a dry pan for a minute if you have time; the flavor difference is startling and worth the minimal effort.
  • Keep a small dish of lime wedges and extra chili flakes on the table so people can adjust the heat and brightness to their own taste without any cooking judgment.
