Teriyaki Veggie & Noodle Stir-Fry | Gluten, Dairy, and Egg Free

Teriyaki Veggie & Noodle Stir-Fry | Gluten, Dairy, and Egg Free

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup low sodium tamari(gluten-free), soy sauce, or coconut aminos (gluten-free and soy free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey, coconut nectar, or coconut/brown sugar, add more or less to taste
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • pinch of black pepper (can use crushed red pepper or sriracha if you like it more spicy)
  • 8–9 oz noodles (I used these ramen noodles* or if gluten-free you can use rice noodles or brown rice spaghetti)
  • 2 cups shredded nappa cabbage or other green leafy vegetable like baby bok choy, spinach, or regular cabbage
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1 whole bell pepper, stem and seeds discarded and thinly sliced (any color will do)
  • 4-5 mushrooms, sliced (baby bella, shiitake, button, etc.)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 3–4 green onions, chopped into 2-inch pieces

Instructions
To Prepare Noodles:
  1. If using regular ramen noodles, place noodles into a pot of boiling water and cook just until broken up. DO NOT cook the noodles fully at this point or they will not hold up in the stir-fry. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. If using rice noodles, place noodles into a bowl of hot water for up to 10 minutes, just until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
To Make Sauce:
  1. In a small bowl combine tamari/soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper. Stir and set aside. (If you add extra veggies/noodles or like it really saucy, I recommend doubling the sauce!)
