  • 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

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 3 cups spinach leaves

  • For the garnish:
  • Sesame seeds or everything bagel 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 and 1 tsp mirin. Cook for a couple of minutes until almost brown.
  • Add all the veggies, except for the spinach. Add the salt and pepper and cook until veggies are tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  • 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, add them in the saucepan with the beef and veggies, toss to warm through, then put back in the serving bowl, and continue by tossing with the sauce.
  • Add the green onions and lots of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
