Equipment

1 large skillet

Ingredients

1/4 cup Bragg's liquid aminos
1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (coconut sugar, maple syrup)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil plus extra for noodles
1 8-ounce package of Korean Sweet potato noodles
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 small onion thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 medium red bell pepper cut into thin strips
1 medium carrot cut into thin strips
2 cups mustard greens finely chopped
1 serving Soy Curls™ (see below)
2 spring onions sliced
1 cup Butler Soy Curls™ soaked in 1 cup of warm water for 10 minutes
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon Bragg's liquid aminos Tamari sauce or gluten-free soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Combine the Bragg's liquid aminos, sweetener and sesame oil in a medium sized bowl, and set aside.
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add noodles, stir, and cook until tender, for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can bring water to boil, add noodles and remove from heat, and allow to sit for about 20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the water from the pot, using a colander to assist. Rinse the noodles with cold water, and drizzle with a little sesame oil. Mix the noodles so they can be coated with the oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for about 3 minutes until onions are soft. Add bell peppers, carrots, and mustard greens, and cook while stirring for 3 minutes.
Stir in noodles, and add sauce to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes so that the flavors can meld. Garnish with spring onions, and serve immediately.

Soy Curls Instructions

Drain excess water from the soy curls with a colander. Toss with Bragg's liquid aminos.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add Soy Curls and cook until golden brown. Toss with sesame oil.
