• 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed

• 3 tbsp Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce (gluten-free, optional for additional flavor)
• 1 tsp Dark sesame oil (for finishing)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the gluten-free chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the julienned carrots, bell pepper slices, snow peas, and shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to the side of the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the center of the pan and add the cooked noodles.

Step 6

Drizzle the tamari and (optional) gluten-free oyster sauce over the noodles. Toss everything together gently to combine the vegetables and noodles.

Step 7

Sprinkle in salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the dark sesame oil over the finished dish for a burst of nutty flavor and garnish with sliced scallions.
