Step 1

Soak the glass noodles in water and set them aside (I also put dried shiitake mushrooms in water, but this is optional. You can use mushrooms of your choice).

Step 2

Cut the pork meat into thin strips. Transfer them into a bowl and marinate with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 crushed garlic, and 1 tsp ginger. Set it aside.

Step 3

Prepare the veggies. Cut carrot and scallions into thin strips. Slice onion and chives.

Step 4

Stir-fry the veggies separately. Make sure to wipe the pan with a tissue after each session to avoid mixing the flavors.

Step 5

Bring water to a boil and put in the spinach leaves-Cook for 15 seconds. Remove leaves from boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Drain and squeeze any remaining water out with your hands. Transfer the spinach to a bowl and add a dash of salt.

Step 6

Bring water to a boil and add 5 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp sugar. Add the glass noodles and reduce the water until evaporated. Make sure to make a noodle taste check at a time. It should feel slightly overcooked.

Step 7

Mix the noodles, the veggies, and the meat in a large bowl. Make a taste test and add soy sauce to your liking. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and serve with rice and kimchi.

Step 8

Enjoy! 🥰
