Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add ground beef to a hot wok or sauté pan on medium heat and cook until all of the visible pink color of the meat is gone
Then add salt, garlic powder, ground ginger, coconut aminos teriyaki sauce and Chinese Five Spice and continue to Sauté for about 2 minutes or until all the spices mix well with the ground beef
Next increase to high heat and add the green onions and sauté for a minute, then add the remaining vegetables (except for the squash noodles) in the order of toughest to cook. For instance, I add the green beans first sauté for a few minutes, next I add the pepper and carrots, then the bok choy is added last
Once your vegetables are sautéed to your liking remove from the heat, then add the squash noodles and mix together well
Serve with a drizzle of sesame oil if you like

Notes

Do not sauté the squash noodles or they will become mushy. // You may substitute the Chinese Long Bean for Green Bean. // You may substitute the Bok Choy for Shredded Green Cabbage. // Mix it up by adding your own vegetable combinations, mushrooms are a great addition to this dish.
