  • Author: Chef Emy

Description

A delicious and colorful Korean stir-fried glass noodle dish with vegetables and beef.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 200g sweet potato starch noodles (dangmyeon)
  • 100g beef (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 4 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Soak the sweet potato noodles in warm water for 15 minutes, then boil for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with 1 tbsp sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Marinate the beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp sugar, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of black pepper for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated beef until cooked through, then remove from pan.
  4. In the same pan, stir-fry each vegetable separately (carrots, bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms) with a pinch of salt. Remove each after cooking.
  5. Combine all cooked ingredients in the pan. Add noodles, remaining soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss everything together over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve warm or at room temperature.
