Directions
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water and drain the rest. Transfer pasta to a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Cover lightly with plastic wrap.
2. In pasta pot, heat vegetable oil on high until it shimmers. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add mushrooms; cook 1 minute more. Add red pepper; cook 1 minute more. Add carrots and bok choy stems; cook 1 minute more (add 2 tablespoons reserved pasta water if necessary).
3. Remove pot from heat. Add bok choy leaves, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and remaining tablespoon sesame oil. Toss well to mix.
4. Divide pasta on four plates. Make a depression in the center of each and mound with one-fourth of the vegetable mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts, if desired.
5. *Note: If you are on the first two weeks of Induction, omit the peanuts.
