03 - Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
04 - Add bok choy and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
05 - Add prepared shirataki noodles to the pan, pour ginger sauce over all ingredients, and toss thoroughly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until noodles are heated through and vegetables remain crisp-tender.
