  • Large pot
  • Scissors
  • saute pan
  • non-stick pan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz dry sweet potato noodles - dangmyeon 당면
  • 1 large handful of fresh spinach
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 small yellow or white onion julienned
  • 1/2 ed bell pepper julienned
  • 4 stalks green onions cut into 1 ½in slices
  • 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Hearty sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 egg scrambled

Instructions
 

  • 1. Soak noodles in cold water for 10-20 minutes. While noodles are soaking, slice and set aside all vegetables. Start boiling a large pot of water.
    2. Blanch the spinach in the boiling water for a minute. Fish out the spinach (save the boiling water!!) and rinse under cold water. Squeeze out the excess water and chop into1in bundles.
    3. Boil noodles in the spinach water for 6-7 minutes or until cooked through. While noodles cook, mix together sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. Drain noodles and use scissors to cut them into manageable (around 6-7 inches) pieces. Add the cut noodles into a large bowl and toss together with 2 tablespoons of the sauce
    **​this prevents the noodles from sticking together, and lets the noodles soak up more flavors while you cook the rest of your ingredients**
    4. In a separate pan, saute onions, carrots, green onions, shiitake mushrooms and red bell peppers until softened but not mushy. Transfer the cooked vegetables and the cut spinach to the bowl of noodles and toss all together.
    5.I n a non-stick pan, pour the scrambled egg so it cooks in one thin layer, making a crepe-like egg pancake. Remove from the pan once it’s cooked through, and slice the egg pancake into thin ribbons. Toss into bowl of noodles.
    6. Mix in the rest of the sauce and toss all together!
