Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb thin-sliced beef (or substitute with chicken or tofu)
  • 1 lb Korean sweet potato noodles (glass noodles)
  • 3 medium carrots, julienned
  • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 lb spinach leaves
  • 4 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the sweet potato noodles and cook for about 5-6 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2. In a skillet over high heat, add the thin-sliced beef and season it with half of the soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Cook until browned; then set aside.
  3. 3. In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the julienned carrots and onion; cook until softened (around 4 minutes). Stir in the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Mix in the minced garlic and chopped green onions; cook for an additional minute.
  4. 4. Add spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted. Combine the cooked beef and drained noodles into the vegetable mixture. Toss everything together in a large bowl until evenly mixed.
  5. 5. Serve warm on plates or bowls; garnish with extra chopped green onions if desired.
