Vibrant low-carb bowl with shirataki noodles, crisp Asian vegetables, and fragrant ginger sauce ready in 25 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Noodles

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
05 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
06 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

→ Ginger Sauce

07 - 2 tablespoons tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
11 - 1 garlic clove, minced
12 - 1 teaspoon maple syrup
13 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

→ Garnish

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

# Steps:

01 - Drain and rinse shirataki noodles under cold water. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles for 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, maple syrup, and chili flakes until fully 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 to 3 minutes until vegetables reach tender-crisp texture.
04 - Add bok choy and green onions to the skillet. Continue stir-frying for 1 to 2 minutes until softened.
05 - Add prepared shirataki noodles to the pan and pour ginger sauce over all ingredients. Toss everything together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until noodles are heated through and vegetables remain crisp-tender.
06 - Divide noodle mixture between serving bowls. Top with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or basil leaves if desired.

# Chef’s Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd expect, making weeknight dinners feel intentional rather than rushed.
  • The ginger sauce is so fragrant and alive that you'll forget you're eating something guilt-free.
  • You can throw in whatever vegetables are hiding in your crisper drawer and it still works beautifully.
02 -
  • Do not skip the initial boil and thorough drying of the shirataki noodles—this single step determines whether you'll love or tolerate them.
  • Keep the heat high and your movements quick when stir-frying; vegetables should soften but retain their color and slight firmness, not turn mushy and dull.
03 -
  • If you want to bulk this up, tofu and tempeh absorb the sauce gorgeously, but even on its own this bowl is satisfying—don't feel pressured to add protein unless you actually want it.
  • A squeeze of lime juice at the end brings the whole thing into sharper focus and makes it taste like you really knew what you were doing.
