  1. 1 package Shiritaki noodles (found in the vegetarian produce section of Publix)
    2 tsp. olive oil
    6-8 baby carrots, sliced
    1/2 small onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    Whatever veggies you like: I used 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 yellow pepper, and 1 cup bean sprouts

    Sauce:
    1/8 cup chicken broth
    1 tbsp. balsalmic vinegar
    1 tbsp. soy sauce
    1/2 tbsp. brown sugar
    2 tsp. cornstarch
    Salt and pepper
    Green onions or cilantro

    Prepare noodles: open package and rinse well in a colander, separating them with your fingers. Rinse for a good minute or so. Allow to sit in colander to drain while cooking veggies.

    Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.

    Heat oil in skillet on medium high heat and add carrots. Cook for about a minute, then add onion and garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, then add remaining veggies. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, then add noodles and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

    Stir sauce incredients to incorporate cornstarch, then pour into skillet. Cook about 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped green onion or cilantro.
