Ingredients
- For ground beef
8oz ground beef
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp mirin
1/4 tsp sea salt
- For the sweet potato noodles (dangmayeon)
8oz sweet potato noodles, boiled 5 minutes, rinsed under cold water and drained
- For the Sauce:
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp mirin
- For the veggies:
1 small onion, thinly sliced
4oz sliced mushrooms
1 cup julienned zucchini
1 large carrot, julienned
1/2 a large red bell pepper, julienned ( I didn’t have red, so I used green)
1/2 tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 large garlic clove, minced
3 cups spinach leaves
- For the garnish:
Sesame seeds or firikake seasoning
thinly sliced green onions
Directions
- Boil the noodles in salted water for around 5 minutes. Rinse well with cold water, transfer to a large serving bowl and set aside.
- In a large sauce pan, add beef, the 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp mirin and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Cook for a couple of minutes until almost brown.
- Add all the veggies, except for the spinach and garlic. Add the salt and pepper and cook until veggies are tender crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Add the spinach and minced garlic and cook until wilted. A note on the veggies, you can replace veggies with whatever veggies you have on hand if you want to use up what you have. You can use broccoli, cabbage, celery etc.
- While the veggies are cooking, whisk all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup. Set aside.
- When beef and veggies are done, pour into the bowl with the noodles, add the sauce and mix well.
- If noodles got cold, which they probably will be, add them in the saucepan with the beef and veggies, add sauce on top of noodles and toss well to coat and to warm through, then put in the serving bowl.
- Add the green onions and lots of sesame seeds and or firikake seasoning. Enjoy!
