Ingredients
- 3.5 oz sweet potato noodles
- 3.5 oz rib eye beef (or chuck beef) thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup carrot thinly sliced
- ¼ onion thinly sliced
- ¼ red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach (packed into the measuring cup)
- 3 Shiitake mushrooms (or sub with dried shiitake mushrooms soaked in hot boiling water)
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil for cooking
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
Sauce:
- 1.5 tablespoon Regular soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- In a pot filled with water, bring to a boil. Boil noodles for 5 minutes and strain. Transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool down.
- In a large non-stick pan set on low-medium heat, add ½ tablespoon sesame oil. Add onions, carrots, red bell peppers and spinach. Fry until softened but still crisp. About 1-2 minutes. Transfer veggies into large mixing bowl.
- Add the leftover ½ tablespoon of sesame oil into the pan. Fry garlic and mushrooms until softened. Add in thinly sliced beef and 2 teaspoon of Sauce. Mix sauce with beef and mushrooms. Cook until beef is fully cooked. Transfer ingredients to large mixing bowl.
- Add remaining sauce into large mixing bowl with noodles. Once the noodles are cool enough to touch, mix everything together with clean hands or if you're impatient like me, use tongs. Garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
