Description

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the Soy Sauce mixture and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add hot water (tap or kettle boiled). Add noodles in for 20 mins to soak. [If you are using kettle boiled water, let it cook for 5-10 mins before soaking].
• Prepare the vegetables by cutting them roughly the same size in matchsticks and strips. Set aside.
• Boil the spinach for 2 mins. Once it is done, run it under cold water to stop the cooking process and squeeze it dry. The texture should be dry and not soggy. Optional: Season it with a little salt.
• Toast sesame seeds in a frying pan on low heat until brown. Set aside.
• After 20 mins, when the noodles are soft, cut them roughly 4 inches long and sprinkle some (sesame) oil to prevent sticking.
• In a large non-stick frying pan, add oil and adjust the heat to medium to medium low.
• Once the oil has warmed up, add in the veggies (except the green onions) and cook them for approximately 5 mins or until they are soft and cooked
• When the vegetables are cooked and if your frying pan is not large enough to hold all the ingredients, remove the vegetables from the frying pan and put it aside.
• Add a little more oil and wait until it is up to temperature again
• Add the noodles and half the soy sauce mixture and cook for about 2-3 mins. Keep flipping the noodles, until they are transparent and no longer translucent. 
• When the noodles are almost done, add the vegetables back in and add in the remainder of the soy sauce mixture and cook for another 1-2 mins.
• Turn off the heat and add in the green onions and sesame seeds and mix well. (Its easier to mix it with your hands when the ingredients are all cool :))
• Enjoy! 🙂
