Method

Start by cooking the rice noodles following the packet instructions, drain and set aside.

In a medium pan heat the oil and add the shallot and shiitake mushrooms. If you are using dried shiitake make sure you have soaked them for at least 30 minutes in hot water and drain them properly before use. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the tamari and coconut sugar and take off the heat.
