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

15 - Fresh cilantro or basil leaves, optional

# 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 bowl, whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced 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-crisp.
04 - Add bok choy and green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until leafy greens begin to wilt.
05 - Add prepared shirataki noodles to the pan and pour ginger sauce over the mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat all components evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until noodles are heated through and vegetables remain crisp-tender.
06 - Divide noodle mixture between bowls. Top with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
