Begin heating 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a medium or large pan on the stove (over medium-high heat).

Discard the ends of the shiitake mushrooms and cut each one in half. Set aside.

Roughly slice the onion and add to the heated coconut oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and caramelize until golden brown and fragrant. I add the 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to help them sweat and release flavor.

Add the shiitake mushrooms when the onions are nearly done and then add the vegetable noodles, letting them cook with the onions for just 2 more minutes until softened, not cooked all the way through.

Divide into two bowls and serve warm.
