We enjoyed this alot. I thought it needed a little sweetness, so I added some coconut cream, I also had a lot more veggies to add. I am guilty of altering recipes, but, that is where my creative juices fly!. Thanks for the basic recipe. :-)

This is very good! After rinsing the Shirataki Noodles (very well), I put in microwave for 2 min...this cooks them and gets rid of all the excess water. I used Mandolin to

this is so good! i rinsed the shirataki very well and parboiled for 3 mins then rinsed it again. Then I dried it with paper towel. I used the spaghetti (white kind). I had no squash on hand, I used asparagus and broccoli instead. I also added a little bit of oyster sauce. Tasted like takeout!
