Each ingredient gets its turn in the wok in this easy one-pan meal: shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, snap peas, eggs, and glass noodles (which are gluten-free!). Added just before serving, fresh basil leaves become slightly wilted from the heat, adding wonderful aroma and bright flavor. Source: Martha Stewart Living, June 2018

5. Return wok to high heat. Swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add eggs and scramble with a fork, cooking until they are beginning to set but still very wet, about 15 seconds. Quickly return shallot mixture, mushrooms, shrimp, and snap peas to skillet. Add noodles and soy-sauce mixture; season with pepper. Cook, tossing, until combined and heated through, about 1 minute.

COOK'S NOTES
Glass noodles, sometimes labeled "cellophane" or "bean thread," are a versatile gluten-free option made from vegetable starch -- usually from mung beans, green peas, or potatoes.
