1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup sliced ginger
2 carrots, sliced thinly on an angle
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup baby bok choy, sliced lengthwise

3 scallions, sliced into 2-inch pieces on the bias
1 tablespoon nama shoyu or wheat-free tamari
1 cup snap peas
2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

In a large pot, boil 6 cups of water; add the salt.
Add the noodles, reduce heat slightly, and boil for about 3 minutes or until tender.
Place noodles in a colander and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
Drain water completely, toss lightly in the sesame oil, and set aside.
For the stir-fry, heat a heavy skillet and add oil.
Keep on a high heat and add garlic and ginger for one minute, stir with a wooden spoon.
Add the rest of the vegetables a little at a time to keep heat up, except the snap peas.
Toss, flip, or just use a wooden spoon to coat vegetables and prevent scorching.

Finally, add the snap peas for 1 minute.
Toss in a bowl with the noodles and serve.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve chicken breasts on the side.
