2. Prepare the Sauce

   In a small bowl combine 2 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp light soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sweet chili sauce, 0.5 tsp ground ginger, 0.5 tsp paprika, optional 0.5 tsp red chili flakes, and 1 Tbsp smooth peanut butter. Mix until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

3. Dry‑Fry the Noodles

   Drain the boiled noodles and add them to a hot, dry wok. Stir‑fry for about 3 minutes until the noodles start to turn slightly translucent and a faint “click” sound is heard, indicating excess moisture has evaporated.

   Time: PT3M

4. Sauté Aromatics

   Add 1 tsp olive oil to the wok, then toss in the minced garlic, diced onion, and sliced shallots. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

5. Add Chicken

   Add the pre‑cooked chicken pieces to the wok. Stir‑fry for 3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and begins to crisp at the edges.

   Time: PT3M

6. Combine Noodles and Sauce

   Return the dry‑fried shirataki noodles to the wok, pour the prepared sauce over everything, and toss well to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and adheres to the noodles.

7. Finish with Greens and Seasoning

   Add the chopped mustard greens, additional 1 Tbsp soy sauce if desired, and a pinch of salt. Stir‑fry for 1 minute until the greens wilt. Finally, sprinkle sliced green onions on top and serve immediately.
