Notes
- *For oil-free: Omit the sesame oil and use water/broth to sauté instead. Also ensure your hoisin sauce is oil-free.
- **For gluten-free: Use GF hoisin sauce, GF pasta, and tamari. (For GF hoisin, I currently use San-J brand.)
- Variations: Add broccoli, baby bok choy, asparagus, celery, cabbage, spinach, tofu, etc.
- Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro, peanuts, cashews, sesame seeds, or mung bean sprouts before serving if desired.
