Ingredients

• 200 grams Glass noodles (mung bean noodles)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Zucchini, julienned
• 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 100 grams Baby spinach
• 3 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce, sugar-free)
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the red bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 6

Add the soaked glass noodles to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour in the tamari and rice vinegar, and sprinkle in the crushed red chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach and stir for another minute, just until wilted.

Step 9

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a main dish or side dish. Enjoy!
