Ingredients

8 oz dried sweet potato glass noodles (dangmyeon)
1/4 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or avocado)
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups fresh baby spinach
2 medium carrots, julienned
1 pepper red bell pepper, thinly sliced
6 oz shiitake mushrooms (fresh or rehydrated), sliced
1 onion yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook 8 oz dried sweet potato glass noodles (dangmyeon) according to package directions (usually 6-8 minutes) until chewy-tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and cut into roughly 6-inch lengths with scissors.
2

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce), half the 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 2 tsp granulated sugar to make the sauce. Add drained noodles to the sauce, toss to coat, and set aside.
3

Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or avocado) in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 onion thinly sliced yellow onion and 2 medium julienned carrots and stir-fry for 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
4

Add 6 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms (fresh or rehydrated) and 1 pepper thinly sliced red bell pepper to the pan and stir-fry another 2-3 minutes. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
5

Add 4 cups fresh baby spinach and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute.
6

Add the sauced noodles to the pan. Toss everything together over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.
7

Remove from heat. Drizzle with the remaining toasted sesame oil and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss once more.
8

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 4 sliced green onions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
