Ingredients

• ▢ 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken pieces
• ▢ 2 medium yellow onions peeled and chopped
• ▢ 2 cups chopped celery
• ▢ 2 cups water
• ▢ ¼ cup cornstarch
• ▢ ¼ cup gluten-free soy sauce
• ▢ 3 tablespoons molasses
• ▢ 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
• ▢ 1 16-ounce can baby corn drained
• ▢ 1 6.5-ounce can bamboo shoots drained
• ▢ 1 cup bean sprouts
• ▢ 1 10-ounce package gluten-free spaghetti
• ▢ Kosher or fine sea salt
• ▢ Oil for stir-frying olive, vegetable, or coconut
• ▢ Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• ▢
  Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the chicken into the slow cooker insert. Add onion, celery, and water. Cover, and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for about 4 hours. Shred the meat completely with two forks.
• ▢
  In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, and molasses. Set aside.
• ▢
  Add the bell pepper, baby corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and soy sauce mixture to the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on high for 1 hour.
• ▢
  Cook pasta according to package instructions in heavily salted water. When the pasta is al dente, remove from the water and pan-fry the noodles in a bit of oil in a large skillet or wok. If desired, season the noodles with a bit of salt and pepper.
• ▢
  Once the noodles become a bit browned and crispy, remove from heat. Toss with the vegetables and chicken, and serve.
