Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut, avocado or olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (I used portabellas)
  • 1 onion sliced thin
  • 1 carrot julienned or shredded
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 1/22 cups skirt steak, thinly sliced (substitute with protein of choice)
  • 12 ounces shataki noodles (see notes for substitutes) 

For the sauce

  • ½ cup bone broth (stock or vegetable broth)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar, xyllitol, erythritol or honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or hot sauce of choice
  • 1 to 1 ½ inches peeled ginger, grated or minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or 
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot or tapioca starch

Instructions

  1. For the sauce, combine in a pot and warm over medium heat, then reduce at low bubble while you prepare noodles.
  2. If using shataki noodles, rinse in colander and put aside. If using other noodles, following directions on the box and put aside when done cooking.
  3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat, add vegetables and cook until fork tender (approx. 5-6 minutes). Remove veggies and add steak. Cook until browned w/ pink center (this should be sliced thin so will only take 2-3 minutes). Add veggies and noodles back to the pan. Add sauce.
  4. Toss to combine and serve topped with scallion tops and sesame seeds.
