INGREDIENTS:
3 bags House Foods Traditional Shirataki Noodle Substitute
1/2 cube vegetable bouillon
1/4 cup reduced-sodium/light soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. granulated white sugar
One 12-oz. bag frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 cup sliced mushrooms

DIRECTIONS:
Use a strainer to rinse and drain noodles. Thoroughly pat dry. Roughly cut noodles.
To make the sauce, in a medium bowl, stir to dissolve bouillon in 1/2 cup hot water. Add soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar, and stir until cornstarch dissolves.
Bring a wok (or large skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add all ingredients except noodles and sauce. Cook and stir until all veggies are hot, 5 - 7 minutes. Add sauce and cook and stir until thickened, about 3 - 4 minutes.
