Description

Ingredients

• 9 oz leeks
• 6-8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1 TBSP oil of choice (avocado, coconut, canola, etc...)
• 8 ounces long life noodles
• 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 TBSP sesame seeds
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 1 TBSP sesame oil
• 1TBSP rice wine vinegar
• 1 TBSP honey (or brown rice syrup if vegan)
• 1 TBSP water
• 1/8-1⁄4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

• First make your sauce.
• Place sesame seeds in a large pan over medium heat and toast, stirring, until golden brown (3-5 min) Transfer to a medium bowl. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, honey, as much crushed red pepper as desired, as well as half of your of scallions, and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to combine.
• Next prep your veggies!
• Rinse leek and trim and discard dark green tops. Halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1- inch pieces. Wash to remove any interior dirt and set aside. If you havent already, clean and slice your mushrooms and scallions as well.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to your pan at medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add mushrooms, leeks, and most of your remaining scallions (save a spoonful or two as a garnish) and sauté until tender and softened. Taste and add salt and black pepper as desired. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
• Next season a pot of boiling water generously with salt and cook your noodles per package instructions. I was using fresh, refrigerated noodles so mine only took 2 minutes so. Dried noodles will typically take a bit longer but nothing extreme.
• Add noodles to the pan with your veggies and heat to medium-high heat. Push noodles and vegetables to outer edges of pan and add sauce to center of pan and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir to combine, then add spinach and cook until just wilted, about one additional minute.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Taste and add salt and black pepper as desired.
• Garnish with extra sesame seeds (optional) and the remaining green onion.
• Enjoy!
