Equipment
- Colander
- microplane zester
Ingredients
- 1 7-8 oz pack shirataki noodles
- 1 green onion
- 1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
- 1 baby bok choy
- ½ tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce for a darker color, add 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar optional
- toasted sesame seeds optional, for topping
- MSG optional
Instructions
- Separate and clean baby bok choy leaves. Chop into bite-sized bits, keeping whites and greens separate. Do the same with the green onion.
- Rinse shirataki noodles thoroughly. Throw them into a pan over medium heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until all the water vanishes – roughly 5 minutes.
- Push noodles to one side. Drop sesame oil, garlic, and green onion whites on the other. Stir-fry until the kitchen smells amazing – about 1-2 minutes.
- Toss in baby bok choy whites, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Mix it up, stir frequently, let the liquid do its thing for 3 minutes. MSG is optional but can join the party if you're feeling adventurous.
- Add baby bok choy greens, cook for another minute until they start to wilt. Time to bow out gracefully from the heat.
- Transfer your creation to a plate or bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onion greens on top for that final touch.
