Ingredients

• Shirataki noodles - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, diced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water for 1-2 minutes to remove any odor. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Stir in the diced tomato, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
5. Add the rinsed shirataki noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the noodles are heated through and well incorporated with the vegetables.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
