Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, plus 1⁄2 tablespoon
- 1 sweet onion, sliced into thin strips
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 small carrots, julienned
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped napa cabbage
- 5 shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated if dried, sliced
- 8 ounces mung bean noodles or sweet potato noodles (also called cellophane or glass noodles or Chinese vermicelli), cooked according to the package directions
- 6 ounces beef or pork (optional)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan of boiling water, blanch the spinach for about 20 seconds. Drain and gently squeeze with your hands to remove excess water.
- In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
- Add the spinach, carrots, scallions, cabbage, and mushrooms and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to low, and add the cooked noodles, meat (if using), soy sauce, sugar, and the remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon sesame oil. Stir to combine, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Season with salt or more soy sauce, if needed.
- Serve among 4 plates. If using sesame seeds, add them after plating.
Notes
COOKING TIP: The traditional way to make this is to cook all the vegetables separately before adding to the noodles.
INGREDIENT TIP: Thinly sliced brisket works well in this dish, and Korean barbecued beef (bulgogi) is used often. In a pinch, chunks of rotisserie chicken, strips of omelet, or fried tofu pieces are good protein additions.
