Ingredients

• Shirataki noodles - 200 grams
• Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water for 2-3 minutes and drain well.
2. In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed shirataki noodles and sauté for 5 minutes to allow them to absorb the oil and heat up.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and let the noodles cool slightly. Then, add the julienned cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions to the noodles.
5. Pour the dressing over the noodle mixture and toss to combine thoroughly.
6. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
