Chow Mein

Ingredients:

• 8 oz gluten-free spaghetti or angel hair pasta
• ½ cup sliced shallots
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tsp finely chopped ginger
• 1 cup thinly sliced carrot
• 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 3 cups shredded white cabbage
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• ½ cup chopped green onions
• 2-3 tbsp sesame seeds (optional; leave out if fat-free)
• Sea salt (optional), to taste

Sauce:

• ½ tbsp potato starch
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos (optional)
• ⅓ cup cold Healing Broth or vegetable broth (without citric acid, yeast, or flavors)

Directions:

Cook the spaghetti or angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Place a large ceramic non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and carrot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the shallots are soft. Add a bit of water if needed to prevent sticking.

Add the bell pepper, cabbage, and peas to the pan. Cook while stirring frequently for 4 to 6 minutes, until the vegetables are all soft. Add the sauce to the pan and stir until thick. Add the spaghetti and green onion to the pan and stir until evenly mixed. Season with sea salt to taste (if using).

Serve immediately with sesame seeds on top (if using).
