04 - Add bok choy and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until greens begin to wilt.
05 - Add drained shirataki noodles to the pan. Pour ginger sauce over noodles and vegetables. Toss all ingredients together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until noodles are heated through and vegetables remain crisp-tender.
